Fizzymouse- no place like home


This evening we buried our little cat.smiley - cat

Jonesy had been with us for almost 17 years. She was the runt of the litter and a very sickly little kitten. The vet told me she wouldn't last the month but she proved him wrong and went on to scratch and bite him quite a few times over the years.smiley - rofl

Jonesy gave us plenty to laugh about over her lifetime from the day she got stuck behind a kitchen cupboard to the night she caught a bat and brought it home.smiley - bat She was a little demon and managed to get herself into a few scrapes along the way. She fell into the bath a few times ..... she never did learn not to lunge at toes peeping out of the water.smiley - laugh She even lost the tip of her tail when Sazzle was very small and slammed a door on it (accidently).smiley - yikes

She was a very good natured cat, the only time she really ever showed her claws was when I'd try to make her take a tablet - and I sussed out the perfect solution to that one ..... eventually.

She died peacefully at home and we buried her in the forest just outside our house - she's just about 10ft from our trampoline (over the wall of course) at the edge of a clearing carpeted with bluebells.

I know in the overall picture of things our little cat didn't amount to much and she did spend a lot of time with our next door neighbour in recent years, but she was our wee treasure and we'll miss her.

Sorry to hear that, Fizzy. Never had a cat myself, but everyone I know who has them accepts them as one of the family (or rather, the cat accepts *them*) - so smiley - cuddles to all. I hope Sazzle is ok...smiley - hug

The pain is that there will be no new memories, but how much duller would your life have been if there'd been none ?

The little beggars get to you don't they.
