Sorry about your loss NWA330
My family has had dogs, cats and fish die. Mostly the dogs were bitten by snakes around the yard (australia has a fair few poisonous reptiles). One cat we had (i think was put down by the vet) had cancer on it's ears. that was about the 1970s i think, perhaps before i was born (can't remember).
We've had cats disappear, both grown ones and almost a full litter of kittens.
Here's a shocking story: a cat gave birth to about 5 kittens in our laundry...we thought it was the neighbour's cat so we went and asked them (with the kittens) if the creatures belonged to their cat. They said no. Anyway one day I went downstairs to have a gawk at and a cuddle with the kittens (by then about 5 weeks old) and noticed them gone from our laundry. The BLOO#Y @RS!HOLE neighbours (who we had talked to about the kittens) had come over into OUR yard, gone into OUR laundry and had robbed us of OUR kittens! Ask me how I know. I saw the F!@KWITS in the process of SELLING them to some other people. They had probably placed an advertisement in the back section of the newspaper. I just yelled over the fence: HEY ARE THEY THE KITTENS FROM MY HOUSE?
I didn't get them all back (and they were utterly adorable). I got one back, an absolute darling who has been with us since 1994.
By the way, the neighbours were these layabout, scraggy, troublesome, in their late 20s girls. Oh, and I think they were unemployed and had several boyfriends each.
They left shortly after kittengate.
