Pet Forum / Mammals / Rats / January 2007Ducas
I just thought I'd mention that we had to put our cat, Ducas, down today. The reason I mention it here is that he has always been a friend of our rats. On many occasions, we would let him and the rats play, and they would often groom each other. One free range rat of ours, the late, great Troy, used to curl up with Ducas and they would take c/rat naps together. Ducas was my daughter's cat, and she is moving out this weekend. Ducas was 18 years old and his organs have been failing, so my daughter and wife made the decision to put him down.

That's going to be hard, losing Ducas and your daughter moving out... almost like a milestone. I'm really sorry your kitty, friend of rats is gone. :( SignatureJoanne Owned by 23 rats.

What a unique cat. Its great that he lived to an old age, although it's never nice when they go. Hugs, Dewi. >I just thought I'd mention that we had to put our cat, Ducas, down today. >The reason I mention it here is that he has always been a friend of our [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > was 18 years old and his organs have been failing, so my daughter and wife > made the decision to put him down. I'm so sorry to hear that. It's heartbreaking isn't it. He lived to a ripe old age and sounds like he was a lovely character, I would have loved to have seen him snuggled up with Troy. It will be strange for you without Ducas and your daughter around. Take care. Tracey Kind thoughts are sent your way. What an incredible age indeed..:) Regards Kate >I just thought I'd mention that we had to put our cat, Ducas, down today. >The reason I mention it here is that he has always been a friend of our [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > was 18 years old and his organs have been failing, so my daughter and wife > made the decision to put him down. |
