    Tonight around 2100, I lost a member of my small household. Gypsy was patroling the perimiter when she was ambushed by a enemy vechical. Her corpse was recovered at 2130 when she was discovered overdue for a status check. Yep, that girl would come find me about every 30 min or so when she was outside, as if she was checking in with me.

    Gypsy was a loving and carefree cat that came to me when her owner moved out of country to wed. She has lived with me for as long as I have owned this house, about 2 years now. In that time she managed to completely wrap me around her little paws. If I negelicted to fill her dish before I went to bed, I could count on being awoken by her sitting right next to my face and gently pawing at me until I woke up. More than once she has saved me from being late to work with that little stunt. Both her sister Sasha and I are moping around the house, already missing her. She was buried curled up like she always did in her (and mine) favorite blanket.

    Good Bye Gypsy, I miss you already.

    I feel your pain Sieldan. The cat that I got when I was in 6th grade had to be put down 2 years ago. Smokey had started to mope around the house as if he was in pain. Tufts of hair seemed to be falling out of him. A checkup showed that he had liver problems and that these were irreversible. I was living in NY at the time, and when my Sister gave me the call, I was torn.

    Smokey would wake me up at 5:30am every single morning when I was in school to demand to be fed. He would bat his paws against my chin and nose to wake me up.

    When I was a Senior in high school I broke my leg. I had about 2 months of straight bedrest and it was at this time I started to read the Dragons of Pern books. I swear to god that I impressed Smokey. From that day on we would just seem to know where each other was. Made it a little embarassing when I brought a girlfriend home, but it was good.

    I still miss him. My mother and sister both have a cat now. They're playfull and fun to be around, but you never get past the one that you truly 'impressed'.

    I had all sorts of rodents as pets. The first one was a mouse, and he eventually got cancer, and had a large tumor growing on his rear leg. It looked very painful, and then he eventually died. I also had 2 gerbils. The first one was killed by the mistreatment of my brother :mad:. Who broke it's back while jumping down the stairs when it was in it's ball :(. My second Gerbil developed a malignant tumor on it's nose. I was devestated when it died. The second one was by far my favourite. I had gotten him when he was only a month old, and he had been so accustomed to me, he never bit, or scratched, and those gerbils have some mighty powerful claws. It sucks when pets die.

    I feel your pain, I had a kitty companion as a tike and my heart broke when he died. Its always hard to cope with the loss of a loved one, even pets. cats are great pets and I recommend one to anyone who needs a little pal to hang out with while relaxing. they really are extremely loveable and caring creatures.

    I feel your pain Sieldan - hard to get over losing a pet that's pretty much a family member and more than an "animal".
