Sweet little Basie. He only lived about a year, we miss his precious little meow and his loving little face.

The more I was around you
the more I doubted you were just a cat
Oh sure you had whiskers and a tail,
0so I called you that,
But your spirit was far too wise
and you were just too smart,
you had a load of brains
to go with all that heart.
I remember how I amazed I was
when you first jumped in the sink holding
out your  paw and like a little lady,
gave yourself a drink.
And it was more than coincidence
when I went to the bathroom, guess who was there..
For wherever I looked
you were right there, a Sacred Birmin..
Glorious, pure, and ever so sweet…

 I miss you my little blue eyes,
we are trying to heal and start anew,
but there are so many empty spaces now
that once were filled by the magic of you………
We will always love and miss you Mickey (blue eyes)

RIP

Basso, you were only in this life for 9 short months, but your huge heart and loving way enriched all our lives. It was such a pleasure knowing you, and we'd do it all over again just to share some time, no matter how brief, with you. We love you so much, and miss you with all of our hearts. You weren't supposed to go like this, and we vow to do whatever we can to further the fight against FIP so that one day no one else will have to feel the pain we are feeling.

You will always live in our hearts and memories. See you at the Rainbow Bridge our little fuzzy boy...

I lost my beautiful calico cat Sassy to FIP on August 13, 2002. She was the love of my life and I will miss her terribly. Words cannot express the loss I feel; she was only two years old.   

I adopted her from a shelter in December, 2000. Sassy taught me a lot about cats; I will never forget her.

Fiona was to be the foundation queen of my cattery. The judges loved her, so I campaigned her to allow her to go as far as possible. Through flights, security checks, car rides, new places and new people, she was always curious, trusting and loving. She loved to play extreme fetch, vaulting over the bed in the hotel room instead of running around it. Nothing made her eyes light up as much as a freshly crumpled up ball of paper! She was a great ambassador for her breed, impressing people everywhere with her charm and sweetness. I'll always love you Fiona, and you'll always be the Queen of Barashta.

Coco was a sweet male blue shorthair who only enjoyed 3 months with me. He was loved dearly and missed terribly and I pray his sister will survive. So short a life but so giving during it, he will be sadly missed.

Today I had to say goodbye to my little red companion Simba. He died of FIP at the age of 1,5 years. I hope he is welcomed by his little brother and sister, Rooie Bertje and Tails, his grandmother Monky and great- grandmother Arie and so many other feline friends. During the weeks he was ill I grew even more attached to this brave little hero. We both hated the medication he had to take ... and what for? We fought the battle together but lost. His blood is at the University now and I hope very soon they will find a cure for this terrible disease.

For all the furry feline friends that died from FIP, cars and other diseases I hope they are in a better place now.

Your favorite chair is vacant now...
No eager purrs to greet me.
No softly padded paws to run
Ecstatically to meet me.
No coaxing rubs, no sweet meows
Will say it's time for feeding.
I've put away your bowl, and all
The things you won't be needing;
But I will miss you little buddy,
For I could never measure
The happiness you brought me,
The comfort and the pleasure.
And since God put you here to share
In earthly joy and sorrow;
I'm sure there'll be a place for you
In Heaven's bright tomorrow...

We will miss you Remington...we know you are in heaven with your Sissy.

It looked as though Pudge (left) would outgrow white sister Morgan (right) in this photo. These cats were supposed to be temporary as my husband and I were raising them for the "no kill cat shelter" we volunteered for. When a friend of ours adopted Morgan - I cried all night that I had to return Pudge. I showed up for him at the shelter the next day with cat carrier in hand. I had to have him.

Pudge immediately started showing signs of weakness and swelling of the stomach. We spent all we had trying to get a different diagnosis for something I had never heard of. We knew when the time was right to let him go - at just four months of age, we had to say goodbye. We still miss you Pudge and dedicate our lives to taking care of the little ones.

Nike was only 4 months old when he passed away from FIP. He touched our lives with more love and happiness than we could ever have imagined. He was our precious little angel who we miss greatly but will forever be in our hearts.  

We love you Nike!
