RIP, Mister Nibblesworth

Mr Nibblesworth
1989 - 2010

Mister Nibblesworth managed to live 20 years last year. We put a little cream on top of his milk to celebrate. He was a pretty resilient cat, even up to the end.

He was almost like a brother to me. Then in 1995 she began to have kittens, and my mom explained to me what that meant. So Mr Nibblesworth taught me a lot.

She died of natural causes (nothing terrible, just old age), a few days after we bought her a scratching post. We have a box of cat toys now to give away, so anyone who wants them just PM me. We also made a photo album just for the cat, which I'll be putting beside my own baby photos.


Goodbye, gentle warrior. Goodbye. :Hail: :cry: :cry:

Poor LF! Sorry to hear about your kitty. She obviously lived a full life.

Deepest sympathies LF. 20 years is a long time to have someone around.

She must have been very happy and well loved to have had such a long life. |G

Looks almost exactly like a cat I had named Brighteyes, who passed away from cancer just over a year ago.

Anyway, my condolences.

All cats look alike to me. I suppose that's racist. Or specie-ist. Something. A little humor to lighten the pain for me, sorry. Nibblesworth would've enjoyed it.

Thanks guys.

We buried Mr. Nibblesworth next to our two other cats, Foxy and Speedy. Foxy we got at the same time, but she only lived 15 years (not much compared to Nibblesworth). Speedy only lasted 5 years. Fed him too much cream.

My sister just lost one of her 15 yo cats a couple months ago. She was inconsolable for weeks. (Actually beyond normal and healthy grief, but that's another matter.) Sorry to hear it.

Sorry to hear of your loss. She was beautiful. :)

My family lost our 14 year old cat Rajah a few weeks ago. I haven't been to visit my parents since then, but I know the house will feel empty without her.
