    @Shardlake, I'm sorry to hear that. I lost two cats in within a very short time when I was in high school. They both got sick around the same time and it was pretty devastating. Took a long time to come to terms with it.
    I love the two cats I have now and would be gutted if anything happened to either one of them. They bring a lot of happiness and fun to my household.
    My condolences.

    @Gerard
    I'm terribly sorry for your loss, friend. My thoughts go out to you and your family.

    @Shardlake
    Losing a beloved cat or dog can be quite painful too. I wish you and your wife the strength you need right now.

    My Wife and I had to say goodbye to one of our cats Tilly this Thursday just gone (she's in my avatar).

    Not sure how it happened but my Wife had the horrible misfortune to find her outside the back of our house lying on the pavement dead.

    It looks like she was likely hit, there was no sign of injuries on her and her collar was found in the road all crushed.

    Both of us are devastated by this we only got both of them (Dolly is still with us) from the Cats Protection League in Leeds 16 months ago and she was healthy, happy and very loving.

    She gave us plenty of pleasure in the short time we had her and we have a huge void where she once was.

    I can only look at the time we had where we gave her loads of love and attention and a welcoming home to try and soothe the grief we both are experiencing.

    Also pets before my Wife and I had were put to sleep due to illness this was the first time I ever buried one, she now resides in our back garden, a place where she spent plenty of time.

    RIP Tilly, you are much missed.

    @Shardlake That's terrible news; I'm very sorry to hear that. I would be devastated to lose either of my cats - I am very close to them, and they have been wonderful companions in times of hardship. I am sorry for your loss.

    My condolences, @Shardlake. I can't speak for loving cats, but there's been many a great dog in my life that I've had to say goodbye to so I know the feeling of missing an animal that feels as much like a human as you can imagine. It's never easy to say goodbye, but the memories are worth holding on to.

    I'm sorry to hear this, @Shardlake. I've had cats for the last 35 years or so and obviously had to see a few of them go, but one never gets to the point where it doesn't hurt. My present two cats will both be 16 years old next April (or so I hope), and I'm happy that they're still around, but at the same time their age makes me somewhat uneasy about things to come, and their visits to the vet keep becoming more frequent.

    One thing I do know, though: The best remedy for grief about the loss of a cat is adopting another one as soon as possible.

    I'm so sorry for your loss @Shardlake. I don't own a cat, but a dog, and while his grey moustache is getting bigger (he still does have a lot of energy when it comes time to go out for walkies), I am not thinking about the inevitable, instead I am taking each day as the beginning of a new adventure.

    Pets are family members as far as I have always been concerned. Thinking of you both.

    Sorry for your loss @Shardlake, pets are an enormous part of our lives. To lose one is heartbreaking and sad. My thoughts are with you and your family.

    Also sad to learn of the passing of Rance Howard. Many film and TV credits to his name. Seemed like a genuine nice guy.

    @Shardlake I know how you feel, lost a cat last year and was devastated. Basically, the little fellow was around from when I was 15 untill I was 27.

    Losing one’s pet cannot be underestimated, let the great memories give you all the strenght you need.

    I'm sorry to hear about Rance Howard. I've seen him in a lot of of productions. But I best remember him as Bruce Boxleitner's dad in "BABYLON 5".

    R.I.P. Mr. Howard.


    By the way, David Cassidy DID pass away on November 21.

    I only learned that today. I knew he was diagnosed with dementia three or four years ago. I´m usually not very touched by celebrity deaths, but this one curiously made me very sad.

    One of the greatest musicians of the 21st century is no longer with us.

    Much appreciate all the kind words guys, it will be a week tomorrow it happened and we both still can't quite believe it.

    I must agree pets are family member, even more so for us as we've not been able to have children so our cats have been ours.

    We still have our Dolly, she is more of an outdoor cat though, we love her to bits but Tilly was the one who spent the time in the house and kept my Wife company as she works from home, she is feeling the loss even more than me.

    In the new year we are going to look into geting another cat from the same place we got Dolly & Tilly from, give another unfortunate abandoned furry one a loving home.

    I was about to post this as well, but this morning, a more important person has passed away :

    French rocker Johnny Halliday has died from lung cancer at 74 :

    https://nytimes.com/2017/12/05/obituaries/johnny-hallyday-dead-french-elvis.html

    The whole of France is in mourning right now, myself included. As a tribute :



    But it's just a tiny sliver of a career lasting more than fifty years, with number one hits for each decade, and more than 100 000 000 records sold in France alone. France has lost her biggest rock star.

    The last surviving cast member of Ed Wood's crew CONRAD BROOKS has passed away. Memorable in PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE and GLEN OR GLENDA.

    Back in '97 a friend arranged to have Conrad sign autographs at a screening of GLEN OR GLENDA and I got to spend the weekend with him. My friend was doing a documentary on Conrad in which I participated. He had some great stories on Ed Wood and Bela Lugosi. I especially wanted to hear him talk about Lugosi. We had a blast.
    He came back to town a second weekend in the fall of '97 to see the documentary, and stayed with my family. I can remember him wanting to watch the Fredric March DR JEKYLL AND MR HYDE so we popped it in. I showed him around town. Sad to hear he's passed.

    RIP old friend.

    Damn, I knew I recognized the name Chegwin, had seen him on Extras and thought he was hilarious on it. Checked out his 80's TV show, which had a nice seizure-inducing intro! RIP, Keith.

    @Creasy47, I didn't know Chegwin's work well, but I was also familiar with his Extras stuff. This video alone is one of the funniest things I've ever seen:

    RIP to a master comedian.

    That's always a go-to laugh for me, especially the bloopers section of it. Gervais' laugh is ridiculously over the top and contagious to me. Go check out some bloopers from Derek, never fails to make me laugh.
