Sympathies. My parents just had their cat of about twenty years old put down and visiting there the other weekend I could still see her out of the corners of my eyes every now and again.

Are you planning to get another cat, or will you wait for the inevitable to happen naturally?

Whenever I leave a bag or a coat on the settee in our kitchen, on re-entering the kitchen I assume its our old dog Gordon and reach out to flick his ears.

Sorry buddy.

That sucks. They do have a way of doing that. I buried my first wife's cat on the day her dad died of kidney failure. She was on her way to the hospital and found her in front of our apartment, she had been hit by car. She'd renamed it Jennifer after the victim in this then fairly recent and notorious murder after she had been loudly sexually assaulted by one of the local toms (she was fixed so...). I dug a deep hole in the rain her dad's backyard that afternoon.

I'm really sorry, Jamie.

Exactly the same with my folks, last year. Cats stay around long enough for you to get used to them, but not long enough to outlive you, unfortunately.

Sorry about that. Grim old job.

So sorry to hear that Jamie - but thanks for this piece.

Would those be the 'Brew Crew', who I was told about five years later had stopped Hawkwind doing festivals because of their penchant for smashing things up?

Sad.

Sad news: my sympathies. We once had a cat that my mum took to be put down. She said he was in decline. Turned out she was a bit quick on the draw: vet said he's fine, just needs some ear drops; sent him away. Lived out another three years quite happily, I think.

Mum is now 77. I'll be keeping an eye on her.
