One of my cats loves bags. If you leave a bag on the floor he'll be straight in there. He's even fine with being picked up and carried around in the bag.Went to take down the Christmas decorations last week, picked up the bag to put the baubles in and got a bit of a surprise
Just had a call from my dad telling me one of our two cats passed away today. She was walking funny last night and acting generally poorly, was worse this morning, he took her to the vet and she passed away, vet reckons it was probably a stroke 
.
She was 17 years old, so extremely good innings! Guess i know it would happen so, doesnt make it any nicer though.
Had her since I was 5 so she's always been there as long as I can remember. At least she didn't suffer and was in perfect health before hand, if a little stiff when leaping from chairs and such
Having a nice browse through the photos, some awesome cats here.
, need to find some of my own!

Why do I think when I look at that kitty that he/she is bent on world domination? Nice pic btw Pike

Hehe, Florence loves bags too. Every time I get my travel bag out, to pack for going away with work, she climbs inside when my back is turned!

Sorry to hear that bud.
Sounds like she had a good life though.

sorry to hear that matey, 17 years though, you were doing something right and she clearly had a good time. Be comforted with that if possible.
Pretty little kitty
Barney was used to Smokey so he gets on quite well with Esmé .
She occasionally swipes for his ears and plays with his tail etc. but he doesn't seem too bothered and he's also started sleeping in my sisters room with the cat.
I think he gets his own back by eating the cat food when we're not in the room.
^^ Thank you

I'm really angry! 
I've had trouble with the old bint next door with cats before.
Last time she was feeding some stray which had a fight with my cat (and cost me £90 at the vet no less) but said stray got run over a month or so back so this is no longer an issue.
Now, Tony has been on a diet...and he's been losing weight well (when we got him, being our first cat typically...he was overfed) but the past 2 months or so hes sort've stopped and in some cases looks like he's gained weight
Now I don't see how this is possible..he gets one sachet of food a day and he's not the most agile of things and doesnt normally go further than our garden or driveway, so unless a mouse is walking infront of him and theatrically dropping dead whilst simultaneously pouring gravy over itself I can't see Tony catching anything.
Anyway, sisters just called me saying she thinks I should have a stern word with next door...she noticed the other evening that despite the stray not being there anymore, the stupid cow is STILL leaving heaps and heaps of cat food out...and shes sure this is where Tony is having a late night snack...
What is it with old women and cats?! I really don't know how to get this woman to stop, when I spoke to her before about the stray she wouldn't listen "I can't bare to see them starve"...so feeding them 5 times a day is appropriate then and I might as well have been speaking in Spanish for all that she took in. She once came home after being out for...wait for it....45mins...yep, thats right...three quarters of an hour, to check to make sure their cat (who isn't ill) was ok, then went back out.
The only thing I can think of is to lie and say Tony's got some heart condition so he's on a specific diet and we are trying to control what hes eating. Problem is, karma has a nasty habit of biting back so I don't want to lie
Any suggestions apart from slipping a cyanide pill into her drink?

I'd do this to be honest. If she "cares" so much, then that might jog her into not leaving food about for him. Do a bit of research and give her a condition name.
This, or go into her back garden and take the food everytime she puts it out?
