RIP Charlotte

My little mate for the last 20 years passed away last night. Charlotte was a lovely ginger and white cat that I had from a kitten. Big personality but the last few months had been hard on her as she got a bit fragile.

Sorry to hear that Malcolm. You do get attached to them. Especially after 20yrs. This is amazing for a cat.

20 years - wow! Definitely part of the family after all those years - she will surely be missed. What a gorgeous little face.

So sorry to hear that Malcolm.

It's always so sad to lose them as they become so entwined into the family.

My sincerest condolences.

As a major feline lover, this breaks my heart.

20 years is an amazing spell for a kitty; she obviously loved it to live that long!

May she rest in perfect peace.

H

Thanks guys, very much appreciated.
She was a lovely girl, you always knew were you stood with her. We shared so many things, when I would go away she would give me the cold shoulder for 10 minutes or so after I got back, then hop on my lap for a cuddle.
Cannot believe I will never hold her again.

Malcolm

Sorry for your loss. They're such a big part of our lives when they live so long.

A couple of years ago we had to euthanise our 19.5yr old cat. Just thinking about it again brings back the memories and sadness.

Sorry to hear of your loss mate and I understand your feelings as we went through the same a few years back when we lost two within twelve months, one fifteen years and the other seventeen.
Very sad so do take care.

Ken.
