Farewell my baby

After 18 years of being a member of my family, my cat, Tia, died today of rhenal failure, which afflicts all cats in the end.

He was a real personality, loving social occasions, laps, sitting in the sun, pizza crusts and generally what everyone else was doing at the time. He was very loving and, like a two-year old person, had all the frustration of complex needs without being able to communicate them. Heaven forbid if we misunderstood the miaow for 'I want to be let out' with 'I want food' or, mostly, 'I want you to go back to bed because I'm tired and I want company'.

Goodbye baby (or, as my mother unfortunately and traumatically called you 'pussy boy'). I will miss you a great deal.

Hi my Sister,

It was with great sadness that we read your Blog. Jennifer, Caitlin, Claire and I all find it hard to believe that Tia has left us. It is a great testament to him that he lasted so long, I don't think that Taxi or Tiesley did half as well!! Whilst I am saddened by his passing I know that you will be bereft. Be strong and try to take comfort in the fact that he had a wonderful life, was pampered and loved by all.

All our love,

Rick

Pussy Boy is resting in his favourite garden spot where Dad laid him with much love and words of affection.
His circle of life is completed but he was loving and loved.
What could be better!
