Sad news

I can’t believe I’m writing this. Fizz didn’t come home for breakfast yesterday (6th May) and I mentioned I was worried on Facebook. Danielle from Paws and Mittens (the cat rescue Harley came from) had had three calls about a dead cat in a road near us and she saw my post and called to let me know. It must have been such a difficult call for her to make. She knew from the description she’d been given that it must be Fizz.

Fizz always went out last thing at night, then came in when I got up with Dusty and spent most of the day sleeping on my bed. She lived life to the full, loved the life she had and filled our hearts.

A man had kindly picked her up out of the road.

Such a huge personality, it’s hard to believe we won’t ever see her again playing in the spray from the hose or sunning herself on the trampoline. Dusty is so quiet and sad and Harley keeps looking round the garden or sitting on the back wall keeping watch and just seems lost.

All I can think is that she’s snuggled up with Indy now, all curled up in his soft fur like she used to when she was little.

These are the last photos taken of her at the weekend with Dusty sharing her sunny chair with him.





RIP darling little Fuzzy 07:04:2013 – 06:05:2014.

  1. I'm crying now. Poor little Fizz. I felt so down yesterday after you said on FB that you thought it might be her that had been killed. Such an awful thing to happen. Hugs to you all. xxx

  2. It is awful isn't it. Such a shock. We'd only been saying that if she lived the long life of our last cats, she'd be with us when we were in our 70s. Feels so wrong that she's gone xx

  3. I suspect the loss of little Fizz has affected more people than even you realise, Teresa. She endeared herself to so many through all those lovely photos on your blog. I can only imagine how distressed you and your family must be feeling at the moment. Sending huge hugs to all of you. Rena xx

  5. This is such terrible news, Teresa. Poor darling little Fizz - a huge personality as we all saw from your lovely photos. She is definitely cuddled up with Indy now but that won't help you deal with the hole she has left behind. Sending love, hugs and huge sympathy.xxxx

    1. I have never known a cat like her, Lydia - she was more like a dog with her antics and yet she'd snuggle into your neck sometimes and purr so loud. Thank you xx

    1. Thank you, Pat. Dusty is still very quiet and Harley keeps hiding behind the door as if she's waiting to leap out. Dusty's made a few overtures to her, trying to get her to play with him like Fizz did, but she'll only rub noses with him xx

  10. I'm so, so sorry, Teresa. What a horrible blow. I know how much your beloved animals mean to you. Love x

  11. Such sad news Teresa, and just when you had your new little family of animals. You couldn't have changed a thing. Cats are so independent, you can't keep an eye on them like you can with dogs. If there is an animal Heaven, I'm sure she's there.

  12. Your little family feels like our own, Teresa, as you so generously share your lovely photos with us, The heartache that comes when our beloved pets die is the price we pay for loving them so much, but we wouldn't have it any other way or else we wouldn't have pets. We will all miss Fizz... but not as much as you x

    1. I did feel for the young lass who had to make the call, Rosemary - she works so hard rescuing cats and kittens and has to deal with some awful situations x

  17. Dear Teresa,

    I read that profile update of yours on Facebook. I was hoping it wouldn't be true. I'm deeply sorry for the loss of your beloved Fizz. Treasured memories in photos and in your heart.

  19. I have only just read your sad news Teresa. I was so sorry to hear about Fizz but so glad you have Dusty to take up your time. The only downside of owning pets is losing them eh? X
