Dear All

It’s a scorching hot day here in the UK and I’m sobbing my heart out over the keyboard.

Ollie my beautiful boyThis morning, Ollie was run over and killed.  To say I’m devastated is an understatement. It hasn’t really sunk in yet and I keep expecting him to walk through the cat flap and demand some dinner.

His funeral will be tomorrow morning at 11; we have a long journey from Kent to the Cambridge Pet Crematorium. I always accompany my cats on this journey and stay with them; I couldn’t just leave them at the vet and have them do what’s necessary. They’ve been with me through thick and thin; I could never leave them to go on this part of their journey alone.

Ollie was in the process of updating his diaries and I shall continue his work and hopefully get them published. It will be a wonderful tribute to such a beautiful and funny little cat. He would have been 11 on 1st August. He has been a real joy to have in my life and I shall miss his daily lap chats.

Thank you to everyone who responded to my note on Facebook this morning.

As I said on my Facebook message: a light may have gone out in my heart but there will be another star twinkling merrily in Heaven.

Please forgive me if I don’t respond to individual emails at this time. I appreciate your loving replies and kind thoughts but I’m really not up for any dialogue. I know you’ll understand. As someone said now he’ll be with Garfield and they’ll be catching up on all the gossip. Plus the mouse population will be breathing a collective sigh of relief – he was a prolific mouser.

Thank you for your love and understanding.

Love Pauline

Sam (who is blissfully unaware of what’s going on and why his Mummy is crying)
Casey (who freaked out when he saw Ollie wrapped in a towel on the sofa and keeps looking at me to see if I’m ok)

 

A Cats Purr

"Cats make one of the most satisfying sounds in the world: they purr ...

A purring cat is a form of high praise, like a gold star on a test paper. It is reinforcement of something we would all like to believe about ourselves - that we are nice."
