What do you assign to Mordor? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Waking up to find that my beloved little cat died in the night. I'm so upset– he was the cutest little thing, and I don't even know why he died... he just wasted away overnight...

I am so sorry Nerwen. He sounds to have been "a very fine cat indeed"...

Nerwen · 05-09-2008, 01:28 PM

He was... and meanwhile his totally evil sister looks like she'll live forever. It just isn't fair.

It isn't. It really isn't.... My cousin got brother and sister kittens and the tom is a handsome fellow and a nice enough cat but little Tiggy was absolutely adorable. And she was the one who got hit by a car.. even though her brother was the main instigator of mischief.

I hope I am wrong - but is it possible he was poisoned? He seems to have gone downhill very fast. Not necessarily deliberately - though alas some folk do hate cats so much but maybe he took a poisoned rodent?

No, I'd been keeping him inside because he had a sore on his leg– but it was healing up nicely. Then yesterday he was looking thin and seemed a bit sick, but nothing drastic– he wasn't feverish or anything– then he just died. It was weird. I've had old cats die that suddenly, but he was young.

Poor kitty..... I am at a loss.... apart from the kitten that died of internal bleeding after a fight all my own cats have fortunately had near Numenorean spans before Anno Domini caught up with them.

So sorry, the only comfort I can offer is that I have observed that the houseless Fea of beloved cat haunt their old home.. for a while you catch sight of tails disappearing around doors....

I'm so sorry to hear that, Nerwen.

Let me assign nasty pervs who take advantage of the fact that passengers are pressed closely against each other in public transport.
