Pinga, our lovely cat, protagonist in the sudocrem cat thread, has died. She was close on 18 years old and I think they were in the main happy ones.

We loved her.

So sorry to hear that. I’m sure she brought a lot of joy to your home – as well as mirth here. Thinking of you.

Sorry to hear that. She will not be forgotten on this site. RIP Pinga

Sorry for your families loss, losing a family member is never easy 🙁

However Pinga lives on in many people’s minds, and brings a smile to many peoples faces who never met Pinga.

OP would you be happy to link to the original thread/be happy for some to link to it?

I hope Pinga knows how much she brightened the lives of so many. Not least by the extraordinary reflective nature of the Zinc Oxide in Sudocrem.

I am waving an imaginary emergency Union Jack in commemoration of a life devoted to others.

Would it be undignified to post a picture of her finest hour?

Sorry to hear that.

In honour of the original thread which brought many of us to tears of laughter:

Sad news indeed, sorry to hear, never easy to loose a family pet…

We still have those epic memories.

Sad news. She gave so much pleasure to so many.

Never mind the Terry Wigan tribute tonight on the telly. They should broadcast a reading of that thread.

Aw. )-:

One of the funniest threads ever.
That cat always will be a legend.
🙁

Pinga,never forgotten 🙁

In honour of such a legend of STW, we’d like to run an official story marking Pinga’s passing and her great contribution to the entertainment and general slacking off at work of the workforce. Hope that’s OK.

At half mast of course.

RIP Pinga.

Ah, that’s a shame.

RIP Pinga…..

sad for you and your family RIP Pinga. 🙁

Aw, poor Pinga. 🙁
Would it be wrong of me to suggest such a famous cat should be stuffed and mounted?

(hides in anticipation of much hissing, spitting and fur flying…)

R.I.P. Pinga. One of the greatest threads of all time

It’s a sad day when a family pet dies. But not many cats get to feature on the STW website.

I’m re-reading the original thread and laughing very loudly in the office so Pinga is still bringing laughter to our office.

Aahhh… a cat makes the STW news page. Schweet.

RIP Silent Clutch Pinga

😥

RIP Pinga.

Farewell Pinga, and thank you.

i bloody hate cats.

sudocream cat however will always have a place in my (cold) heart.

RIP Pinga
Great that she was not only loved by your family, but by a whole load of people who’d never even met her!

Pinga – gone but never forgotten.

I am wearing my helmet and waving the emergency flag in her honour.

RIP Pinga, a slow silent tear is descending my cheek as I type.

Would it be wrong to pass on Mrs Ambrose’s suggestion that she is embalmed in Sudocreme. Probably. Sorry. Really sorry.

Stand down, Pinga.

If you see our Liquorice on your travels, tell her we miss her.

Thanks for the thoughts all (including Mrs Ambrose!). As ericemel said on the original, “this is why this is the best forum on the net. Comedy, help and friendliness all in the same place.”.

🙂 Chin up my friend 🙂

Pinga’s story cheered me up when I was low. She won’t be forgotten.

Emergency Union Jack at half mast…. Rip!

Our condolences, Markie. That’s a grand innings at eighteen!

I’m not going to cry over this sad news….. All my tears were shed for Pinga in laughter 4 years ago 🙂

Hope your daughter isn’t too upset.

RIP Pinga, I hope she slipped smoothly into the afterlife.

Sad new, RIP Pinga!
Hope you & your family can remeber her with as much joy and laughter as I will!

As others here have already said, it must be almost unique that a family pet, unknown to anyone outside the family, has come to mean so much to so many, and given so much pleasure through an unfortunate set of circumstances.
She will be missed, but certainly not forgotten.
RIP Pinga.
