Can all you cats people say goodbye to Blacky.

Bit of a sad story tonight. There has been a feral (sp) cat round where I live for the last couple of years, we and (neighboiurs) have been feeding it but it would never let us go near it, this week it has been going into next door through their cat flap and just sleeping, it also let me and my neighbour stroke it. Anyway this evening neighbours husband said it had to go because they already have 3 cats. I said I would take it on but needed the vet to check it over for fleas etc. Blacky as we have called it looked very shabby and was obviously an old cat and very vocal. Me and neighbour got an appointment at the vets for 5pm and took Blacky for a check up. Blacky turned out to be a girl, she had hardly any teeth, her kidneys failing and then the vet found a weeping tumour in her groin, poor thing must have been in agony. Blacky had to be put to sleep, very sad, but at least she went with me cuddling her and talking to her. All the neighbours chipped in with vet fees, and Blacky will be forever remembered.

A sad story, but a lovely story of people who care. RIP

While it's a sad story, it's a nice one all the same.

Thanks for posting, Puss.

Sorry to hear about Blacky's fate, pussnboots, but you did a brilliant job making her happy and being with her at the vet's. Well done to the neighbours too for getting involved - doesn't often happen in that sort of case.

Very sad but God bless you and your neighbours for what you did.

RIP Blacky, no more pain.

Perhaps Blacky knew when to ask for help?

Goodnight Blacky, sleep well.

Poor Blacky, this story made me sad, I love my cat so much. At least you stroked her at the end and made her feel good :(

Awww Puss, how very sad. A massive thumbs-up to you for being there for the poor wee puss.

[SpikeyBush]

It was so sad, poor thing must have known he was poorly and finally came to us humans for help.

Just my last thought before I go to bed. It struck me tonight that Blacky knew who to come to when she was needing help, I love cats and so do my neighbours, Blacky was practically wild when she was fit but tuned to us in her hour of need, funny creatures eh!! but don't ya just love em.
