A cat's eyes are windows

The little furry buggers are just deep, deep wells you throw all your emotions into.

Bruce Schimmel

This is Mouse who now takes over the role of 'cat in charge', anyone who saw her trying to catch her own tail in the sun may doubt her ability to take on this role...but we will see..

Today I had to say goodbye to my beautiful little Midge. She would have been thirteen on Monday.

My first cat...like all the best was not what I went looking for, in fact we only went for one which we'd already chosen and then I saw her in a cage just sat quietly at back. I went over and heard the loudest purr....she purred ever since the day she came home with me at nine months and continued to do so till the end.

She was a cat with a talent for languages... able to say hello in mandarin..Nín h?o...she pronounced this 'me how' and then there were the most amazing chirrups.

She had the most amazing emerald green eyes...

'Is there anything as beautiful as a cat's eyes? Jewel-like they captivate the heart'. - Author Unknown

The most gentle, dainty and pretty of cats there was not a mean bone in her body...unless you were a mouse. Occasionally she would bring me a present of a perfect mouse and then release it and walk away. We must have looked very ungrateful as we turned the house upside down.

Beautiful, Lovely Midge...just going to prove that other peoples rubbish can be others treasure.

Midgey Mogget.....little cat...you leave a very large hole and I shall miss your purr....my little pocket rocket.

Run, hunt and play with the others.

Tribute to a Best Friend

Sunlight streams through window pane onto a spot on the floor.....
then I remember,
it's where you used to lie, but now you are no more.
Our feet walk down a hall of carpet, and muted echoes sound.....
then I remember,
it's where your paws would joyously abound.
A voice is heard along the road, and up beyond the hill,
then I remember,
it can't be yours..... your golden voice is still.
But I'll take that vacant spot of floor and empty muted hall,
and lay them with the absent voice and unused dish along the wall.
I'll wrap these treasured memories in a blanket of my love,
and keep them for my best friend until we meet above.
