Goodbye Polly

After 14 wonderful years, we have had to say goodbye to Polly, our precious tortie puss. She has worked hard throughout her life to keep us clear of rats and mice and other tricky rodents.
She has been on 3 legs for a few weeks and finally it was recognised that she had a serious problem - bone tumour.
BJ and Alf are showing anxiety, probably because of us, but the other 2 cats are also behaving strangely. I'm sure these critters we think we 'own' are far more aware of things than we ever realise.
I'm gutted, knew it would happen yet wow, doesn't it hurt.
Goodbye little Pol, you were special and we shall forever miss you xxx

R I P Polly , enjoy chasing mice in the cattery in the sky . It's amazing how close we get to our animals ; I think it's because they truly do love unconditionally , something that not all humans are able to do ! Jillyb0

I'm so sorry to hear that you've had to say goodbye to Polly, Fay. Each animal is an individual with their own personality, so it's always very sad when we have to part with them. I've had several cats which have lived to a great age in cat years (one to over 20) and they were all much loved members of the family. To lose them was heartbreaking, but I consoled myself with the knowledge that they had enjoyed very happy lives, as I'm sure Polly has done with her rodent-catching skills.
I think you are right that animals are probably more aware of things than we realise. Cats in particular seem to have a sixth sense, so it might take a little while for your other cats to settle down to life without Polly.
