So today was my birthday. And all this week my cat has been in and out if the vets for an illness they couldn't explain.

Anyway the last few days she had sever kidney failure, and whilst at first improvement was promising we had to make the decision to say goodbye this morning. She had gone totally downhill and could barely lift her head, we were there with her when she went and she went quickly and peacefully. But as I'm sure many of you know it is absolutely devastating when you loose a pet, but worse still when it shouldn't have been their time. She was only three years old and perfectly healthy. It's totally un explainable and devastating.

I got her for my birthday three years ago, but she has lived with my dad (where I work so I still saw her daily) for the past year. So he is also gutted. She was no ordinary cat and never failed to make everyone smile by regularly playing fetch and generally being a nuisance. RIP Cali Cat.

However later on, I rode my horse :) 14 weeks since I fell off and broke my ankle and got pinned back together. So happy, and I didn't do a lot as my ankle is still quite weak and confidence low! But just so happy to be back in the saddle.

Been doing plenty on the ground with him, and he has a new saddle on the way and there's a good possibility the old one was the cause of my fall.

I am so sorry about your cat, she was beautiful, so very pretty. It's awful when you lose an animal, especially when they are young, and on your birthday is horrible timing. Your horse is lovely, it's good you got a ride on him to cheer you up.
 
Oh, such a beautiful cat, so sorry Girlracer. Horrid to happen on your birthday too. But you do look great on your horse, cannot believe you have had all that time off. Well done :)
 
Happy Birthday! Sorry bout Cali. She was a cutie! Lovely pics of you back on your boy though. Glad you are all healed up. x
 
so sorry about your cat - she looked gorgeous.
Glad to see you smiling,back in the saddle though.Hope your birthday is the start of a wonderful year ahead.
 
What a beautiful cat. RIP :( I know how easy it is for cats to just work their way into be your number 1! I've got one :) But you know you gave her the best chance :)

I bet it must feel great to be back on board
 
Such an emotional day for you, sorry about your pretty girlie. Getting back on board must have been just what you needed, so glad for you that it was a good ride.
 
So sorry to hear you lost your beautiful girl. There is never a good day to lose a pet, we lost our old dog on Christmas day 3 years ago so sort of know how you feel. xx Happy Birthday xx
RIP Cali Cat xx
