I just wanted to say good-bye to George the most beautiful cat in the world and didn't he know it! Hope all the angels give you loads of love as we have loved you.

Yes, just last week. We are all devastated by it as he was the most beautiful big ginger fur-ball with a big attitude. He was only 3 and he was loved enormously by us
but someone put down poison and he got out and well the rest is history. There are a few cat haters around here but no one we can point a finger at. Thank you for asking CLKD.

 :'(  The police and RSPCA have been told about the poison?  It's never easy but when an animal is targeted or picks up anti-freeze etc..

How awful for you Rose. What type of poison was it and I hope that your local press has published a warning to others.

In the Fens it was air-gun pellets for about 2/3 years  :'(

Thank you for asking. The RSPCA said that as the poison was weedkiller then they had no proof of who had actually done it. I suspect one person but they questioned him and of course he denied all knowledge. We raised George from a tiny kitten who had to be bottle fed to this great big fur ball! He was one good looking cat and knew it! If my daughter wasn't there at night, he'd try to sleep with anyone. One night he scared the living daylights out of a guest when he forced the door open and got in beside them! I know we are supposed to keep cats indoors but he got out every so often and used to play with Daisy the dog. We miss him so much. I don't know why anyone would be so cruel to hurt an innocent animal. I have had my fair share of pain but I hate to know how much he suffered. As I said, hope the angels are taking good care of him x

I suppose that it could be that George had wandered across somewhere that had recently been sprayed - some of the lawn weedkillers are very toxic and some people just don't think about visiting animals unfortunately. He would then just have to have licked his paws to ingest enough to harm him. One of my cats died after licking a newly creosoted fence - the fence owner was really upset but it wasn't her fault obviously.

You gave George a wonderful life - he was lucky to have you.

Poor George, but he had a good life with you for his short time - he'll be waiting for you at Rainbow Bridge x
