One of the things that CFZ members all seem to have in common is a close relationship with their pets. Even though I masquerade as a scientist in public I am ridiculously anthropomorphic towards my animals (especially dogs and cats), and have even been known to talk baby talk to my caecilians.
Therefore I understand perfectly what dear Lindsay Selby is going through. Her cat Baggins was put to sleep yesterday.
"He was 14 and had been with us since he was 6 weeks old. His liver and kidneys were failing. Just collected his remains and buried him in the garden. I needed to bring him home, you know? He was a truly cryptid cat having moved to Scotland with me the year I lived up there on the Black Isle so I could be near Loch Ness. I am devastated as it was unexpected and sudden. Probably poison from eating a poisoned mouse."
I'd like to send my condolences to Lindsay - I know exactly how she is feeling right now. I lost my own feline companion of over 16 years back in February and I still miss him every day.
