Tigerlily Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I collected my beloved Gnasher's ashes today I had to have him put to sleep a couple of weeks ago... he had been ill for a few months and it got to the point that he was having breathing difficulties and I couldn't have him suffering x I have missed him so much and he is totally irreplaceable...he was part feral, a mouser extraordinaire, a bodyguard and bouncer (protecting the girls once from a fox-attack), and my loyal friend and companion. RIP my beautiful boy... On the next lovely sunny day I am going to scatter the ashes in his favourite sunny snoozing spot where he loved it the best xxx We know we can't ever replace him, but our lives and home are so empty without him. We have contacted our local Cats Protection and have a home visit next week to adopt a new cat (hopefully). We would like another boy if possible because Mr TL feels rather outnumbered (quite rightly!) in the female dept at our house! Night Night my lovely Mr G xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mollyripkim Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Really sorry to that, I'm sure you will really miss him but hopefully in time will be able to think of him with a smile and have happy memories. Sending lots of hugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Ahh I'm sorry, it is so sad when you lose a much loved pet. I hope you find the perfect cat to join your family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach chick Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Sad. what are you going to do with the ashes? I am slightly ashamed to say that my Sparky's ashes have been in the kitchen cupboard for coming up to a year now - but they are going in a new flowerbed that I am hoping to plant up shortly. just didnt have the right place til now!

Old Speckled Hen Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I have three plants that have come with me whenever I have moved home. Each has the ashes of a beloved cat; they have been entwined by the roots and have become part of the leaves and flowers. I chose plants that bloom when they died. One of them is the catmint where one slept.............Soppy lot, aren't we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 I have to say that I will be sad if I ever leave this house as we buried my old dog Sally's ashes under one of the plants, where she used to snooze in the summer and my cat Molly's ashes are under another. I wish I'd put them in a pot with a plant in. My YS is worried about this and he's had his rabbit's ashes in his bedroom for about 2 years now.

Reikiranf Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 So sorry to hear about Gnasher, he sounded a real character no wonder you're missing him. I got two male kittens from Cats protection a year ago and then went back in November and got them a little sister I'm sure that you'll find the perfect one for you, good luck and I look forward to seeing some pics.
