My old cat finally died today. She was about 12-13 years old. Lived out in the garage and yard the past three or four years after losing her indoor manners. Always pretty pleasant for a cat. I buried her out by the rose bushes in the back yard..
I might get another..I dunno...and no..I didn't dig a 6 foot hole out there..about a foot at best..

Sorry for your loss. It's always tough, losing a friend.

Sorry for your loss. The passing of a pet is hard to get over, as they truly give unconditional love. I'm still trying to get over the passing of our 20 year old kitty two years ago, so I don't think I can go through the heartbreak again with another pet.

On the bright side she's got 8 lives left

She started losing weight last spring and this summer stopped eating for the most part. She was all skin and bones by the time she died.. I might get a rescue cat from one of the catch and release organizations. I trapped a bunch this past year when we had feral cats all over the place..
