Oh no! I hope he's just gone wandering. We have three furballs here and I'd hate to think of anything happening to them. Fingers crossed for you.

Hope he's ok.

It really isn't looking promising. It is too much of a coincidence that the dead cat was found at the same time the Pog disappeared

.

I have someone I have to see tomorrow (or at least try to gain access to a contractor's building) to see if I can confirm it... I think the Pog got squashed.

Our fingers are still crossed for you guys.

Inso, I almost hate to ask, but any news?

Inso · « **Reply #2030 on:** February 02, 2013, 12:29:44 PM »

No news but I am being realistic now. I am almost certain it was Pog.

The cat was found in his patch just a short while after I saw him dashing across the road. It was mentioned that it was a small cat, with markings like my Pog.

And although he was a brave little wotsit, he would have been home by now for something to eat and some computer time. It is just too much of a coincidence for him not to be the cat in question.

Obviously, I will be asking questions to see what happened to the body but I am pretty certain that my little Pog has been killed.

Better to live a day as a tiger than a lifetime as a lamb.

It has been confirmed. The Pog has passed away.

It was instant and his collar went AWOL so the driver didn't have our address. He was so upset, he took the cat away and buried it. He saw a pic of the Pog and confirmed it was definitely him. I searched the area and found the remains of the Pog's collar

.

At least we know what happened and don't have to worry about him being missing now.

I am gutted

Our condolences for your loss.

I'm sorry to hear that.
Though like you said at least now you know what happened.

Brandlin · « **Reply #2037 on:** February 04, 2013, 07:04:47 PM »

I am neither a cat lover nor a pet owner, so I won't insult you by saying I understand your loss.

However it is evident by how you typed about the pog here - how you found him, cared for him - that he brought you joy.

And I suggest that is how you should remember his brief time with you. It's never about who we are but how we affect those that matter...

We were saddened by this terrible news

Steel Penguin · « **Reply #2041 on:** February 04, 2013, 10:10:45 PM »

sorry to hear that Inso. Not easy to find out, that. Id miss either of ours like crazy, if it happened to one of ours.

No Head Ned · « **Reply #2042 on:** February 04, 2013, 11:21:43 PM »

That's really sad news. He was such a lovely cat too.

Curious Plankton · « **Reply #2043 on:** February 05, 2013, 08:18:35 AM »

Very sorry to hear that

beefcake · « **Reply #2044 on:** February 05, 2013, 10:18:42 AM »

Sad news.

Inso · « **Reply #2045 on:** February 05, 2013, 10:53:44 AM »

Thanks everyone

.

I miss the little wotsit but I'm sure I'll get over it (even though I have been really upset by his passing... more than I would have expected really

).

My daughter has been very upset by it (it was her cat but it attached itself to me) but a new kitten will help to lessen that.

As it happens, my sister's cat recently gave birth to a bunch of kittens and we have decided to take one of those. It is a little female this time (so it won't have half the character and 'spirit' of the Pog) and is all fluff.

Hopefully we will be a little luckier this time.

Gangrel · « **Reply #2046 on:** February 05, 2013, 01:21:13 PM »

Aaw, really sorry to hear that. You got the Pog around the same time we got the force of nature that is Mina, and I hate the thought of anything happening to her so I can sympathise.

I wouldn't discount the fact that because the new one is female she won't be half the character that he was. Some females are as mental as anything! And yes Mina, I'm talking about you (and your habit of bouncing past at eye level).

I hope that's the case because the Pog was like a proper little bro.

Sorry to hear that, Inso.

We lost LV a few years ago, and the driver didn't stop, so I can sympathise.
I hope the pain eases for you and your daughter soon.
