Sorry about Iris. That's young.Originally Posted by JKL2000
RIP our 7 1/2 year-old cat, Iris, who we had to put down on Saturday.Not sure of the cause, but the vet ruled out a couple of things and then she was really too weak to put her through a bunch of tests. Fortunately, we still have five cats left!
We had 5 cats about a year and a half ago, and only 1 is left--although we have adopted 2 more in the interim.
I'm probably misremembering, but I thought they showed them on A&E over here with Prime Suspect as the header, and the actual title as a secondary title. I'm pretty sure that had something as a series title, but it may not have been Prime Suspect.
The one that lives in our house(belongs to my middle daughter from college)has lymphoma and is about eleven. The tumor is behind the left eye. About a month ago he came home looking like he had been in a bad fight, his left eye looked horrible. Little did I know cats have three eyelids and the extra one is on the bottom and pops up to cover and protect the eye, but looks like something from a cat horror movie. About a week later my oldest daughter removed the extra eyelid and he looks normal and can see just fine. They give him chemo once a month and other sorts of medicine. I'm not a cat person but Manny is okay and gets along with the pitbull. When they are gone no more pets, I've had enough in my life. Maybe I will set up a fish tank again.RIP our 7 1/2 year-old cat, Iris, who we had to put down on Saturday.

If you've had enough of dying pets, a fish tank is the worst option, in my experience.
I always mix up those two.
But it is a cheaper pet loss without the attachment.

Wow, you lost a lot of cats in one year - that must have been rough. Iris was the runt of the litter, and was always really small. The vet thought she probably had some congenital or at least chronic condition. We still have her mother and brother, and three other cats from another litter, who are about a year younger.
In June, I had to put down my precious boy Tiberius...my Seal-point Siamese cat. He was only 9 years old and had very advanced cancer (Lymphoma). Needless to day I was devastated.

They're both a couple of beautiful specimens. Congrats on the latter, condolences on the former.
Beautiful Siamese.
A lovely dog. Mine passed at 9 in September (a cocker spaniel and a very important part of our family). Sorry for your loss.

9 is just too DAMN young!!!!!!! I am so very sorry.
My new pup is a handful. But I am so excited to have him as part of my family. I fully understand your grief!!!

Goddamn, Bob from Sesame Street died! I actually didn't know he was still alive, but it's a sad day. RIP, Bob!

There’s also this
Did I miss the dead of Ian McDonald?
Multi-instrumentalist in King Crimson. I wonder how Foreigner would have sounded if they had used more of his multi-instrumentalism.
Lisa Marie Presley
There were a couple of threads which were quickly merged:

Kinda surprised there wasn't a RIP thread for her. RIP.
Rick Dashiell passed today. Big friend of the prog scene. There's going to be a tribute event next Saturday at Orion Studios in Baltimore.
Wow! Are you serious? Rick was a great guy and a big supporter (and fixture) of Progday. He will be missed. RIP.

Unfortunately I am serious. Lost a battle to cancer earlier today. He was a good dude and I will definitely miss our chats.
If you're actually reading this then chances are you already have my last album but if NOT and you're curious:

Ok. I just found out through others online he had diabetes but didn't know he had cancer. I just posted on his fb page.
