Losing a friend

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Losing a friend

Post by Yaya » Wed Sep 14, 2011 6:33 pm

My cat of fifteen years is dying. Guy went through medical school so many years ago with me and outlasted my marriage.

Haven't really felt like doing much online. Just want to spend time with him. He's diabetic and I've been giving him insulin injections twice a day for years now. In return, he has given me so many years of companionship and love.

I've always loved animals. This one most of all.
"But the Costa story featuring Starscream? Fantastic! This guy is "The One", I just know it, just from these few pages. "--Yaya, who is never wrong.

Sorry to hear that mate. Cats are awesome, and yours sounds like a little trooper.

Boy, I know this feeling, all too well.

Sorry to hear this, Yaya.
For now, it seems like IDW wants my money.

Sorry, buddy.

Or do one big poo in the morning and another one in the afternoon. I bet they weren't even excited by and then subsequently disappointed by Star Wars Prequels. Or have a glass full of spare change near their beds. That they don't have.

Sorry to hear that. My condolences. At least he was able to live a long life full of love.
