Ziggy
11th October 2009

Tonight, my beautiful, huge, Sealpoint, British shorthair cat, Ziggy, collapsed quite suddenly and died. He was only 5, and was a larger than life boy, we all adored him. He was quite stunning to look at.
We think he had a heart attack, he was fine one minute and then I just found him lying in the kitchen, and he was already gone.
To say I, and my family are distraught, is not exaggerating.
I'm still walking round the house at 3am !

Pat... I am so sorry to hear about Ziggy. What a beautiful cat he was! And I know he was well loved. I cannot imagine the shock and heartache of losing a loving pet so suddenly and at such a young age.

It is so very very sorry to read about the loss of your beautiful and special family pet ... I can relate well to a loss that is much too sudden and too soon... the healing will take some time for you all and for your little dog as well. Perhaps knowing that many share that sorrow will help ... Linda

Oh, I know how it feels to lose a pet. They are like kids. I'm so sorry for your loss. I dread the day I find Sadie. She's getting so old and my heart will break when it happens. My biggest hugs go out to you! He was a beautiful kitty!
