As a lifelong cat owner, for me the pain of the parting is helped and healed by the treasured memories that the small furbags give us during a condensed life of love and fun.
Our cat's are always buried at home in the garden under their favourite spots, so I feel they are always with us in spirit.
Mary MacADNski: Are you under a duvet because you're sick or cold?
I too have had cats my whole like and Clarke was very, very special. I'd never met a cat like him. He was love in a bag of fur.
Old Mama Kitty who died at 23 years old is buried here but Clarke was taken by a fox or coyote. It still gives me nightmares.
My eyes filled with tears when I read how you lost Clarke. I can't image how you must feel.
Mary MacADNski: It was devastating to me, Gingeybaby. He is all through the archives as he was a very special fellow. I still call his name sometime outside in the faint hope.....
