One of my two cats died... I don’t know why. He desappeared for 2 days which he never does and we found him in our neighbour’s garage, laying down as if he was sleeping, he was dead. I never had pets before and it’s the first time it happens to me. It’s technically my wife’s cat but I’ve known him for 10 years and lived with him for a year. It kind of hits me hard, I really didn’t expect it... Sucks.

To think of something else, I went to see !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! to hang out a little... He was working on an Austin Mini and I helped him out for a few hours. We worked on the car a lot and to cheer me up, he dropped me home in something... Really cool :)

Sorry for the blurry picture, snapped it quickly when he left. Such a fantastic car. What a noise too! Simply awesome! It definitely put a smile on my face again for a couple of minutes :)

Anyway, going to lay in bed now... I don’t feel like doing anything home :(

Bye bye Dai-chan! Love you :)

I’m sorry about your cat - at least they lived a long happy life.

And I’m envious you got to ride in that Renault! That is awesome!

Sorry to hear about Dai-chan.

I hope you got to spend some time with him and say your goodbyes. Its one of few things I regret not doing with my old tabby cat when he died, spending some time to just say goodbye.

He did... He wasn’t that old though... :(

The R5 Turbo is one of my favorite car on this planet, so I was really really happy to get a ride in it!

I guess... Has I said, I never had pets and it’s a bit tough... I need pets that outlive me.

Good lad. Some regrets hurt more than others and not saying goodbye to someone in your life when they pass hurts the most. Its hard because its important.

Take care okay fella. Thoughts to you, your partner and your cat.

Sorry to hear that. Its strange how they sort of know. I’ve had a couple of cats that did the same thing. There’s a beauty to them going peacefully like that I suppose

I’m sorry to hear about Dai-chan ‘crossing the rainbow bridge’... I have had several family pets in my life and said good-bye to half a dozen of them over the years. It never gets easier to say good bye, but I have been reflecting on the good times more and more over the years.

Focus more on the great memories you have with Dai-chan and you’ll work through the grief more quickly...

as a car / cat lover, you have my condolences. Hope you had some fond memories!

(RIP Ashes, my cat for longer than my wife was someone I knew)
