CONNIE CAT
CONNIE DIED PEACEFULLY, SHE WAS AT LEAST 18 YEARS OLD POSSIBLY 21/21. CONNIE HAD BEEN WITH ME FOR NEARLY FOUR YEARS. SHE WAS FOUND IN A FRIENDS NEIGHBOURS GARDEN WHERE SHE HAD SPENT AT LEAST FIVE MONTHS DURING THE FREEZING COLD WINTER OF 2012/2013. EVERYTHING WAS DONE TO TRY AND TRACE HER OWNER BUT NOBODY CAME FORWARD. ON 18 JULY, FOUR MONTHS AFTER I GOT HER I DECIDED TO GIVE UP EVER FINDING HER OWNER AND CONNIE BECAME MY CAT, THAT DATE BECAME HER BIRTHDAY. SHE WAS SUCH A NICE NATURED CAT, HAD OBVIOUSLY BEEN LOVED AND I OFTEN WONDER IF HER OWNER HAD DIED/GONE INTO A HOME AND THE FAMILY COULDN'T BE BOTHERED. I REMEMBER WHEN I TOOK HER IN SHE LOOKED LIKE A YETI, MORE FUR THAN CAT BUT AFTER A NICE WARM BATH, WHICH SHE ACTUALLY ENJOYED AND A GOOD BRUSHING, A LITTLE SWEETHEART APPEARED. I GAVE HER THE NAME CONNIE AFTER MY MAM WHO PASSED AWAY IN OCT 2012. THINK MY MAM WOULD HAVE BEEN DELIGHTED TO HAVE A CAT NAMED AFTER HER. CONNIE ALWAYS LOOKED GRUMPY BUT THAT WAS ONLY BECAUSE OF HER MARKINGS AND SHE HAD THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AMBER EYES. A MONTH BEFORE SHE DIED I RESCUED A KITTEN (8 WEEKS OLD) AND CALLED RONNIE (AFTER MY LATE DAD). MY DAD CARED FOR MY MAM DURING HER LONG ILLNESS AND LITTLE RONNIE WAS CONNIES CONSTANT COMPANION. I CARED FOR CONNIE DURING HER LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS AND CUDDLED HER FOR 15 HOURS UNTIL SHE PASSED AWAY, A DAY AFTER WHAT WOULD HAVE BEEN MY MAM'S BIRTHDAY. SHE WENT PEACEFULLY KNOWING THAT SHE WAS VERY MUCH LOVED AND THAT I HAD GIVEN HER A FOREVER HOME. I DIDN'T WANT THE VET TO PUT HER DOWN, SHE WASN'T IN PAIN AND I PREFERED THAT SHE SLIPPED AWAY AT HOME RATHER THAN IN A CLINICALLY COLD SURGERY. WHEN SHE DIED LITTLE RONNIE PUT HIS TINY PAW ON HER HEAD AS IF TO SAY GOODBYE. CONNIE WAS DEFINIETLY PAMPERED IN HER LATTER YEARS AND SHE IS MISSED BUT WILL REMAIN IN MY HEART AND THOUGHTS FOREVER. RUN FREE MY DARLING CONNIE. XXXXXXXXXX . IN YOUR HONOUR AND TO REMEMBER YOU WE HAVE A TINY CAT CALLED CONSTANCE ALTHOUGH SHE ANSWERS TO BEADY (HER BEADY EYES MISS NOTHING) YOU WOULD HAVE LOVED HER. RONNIE MISSES YOU AND HE'S GROWN UP TO BE A BEAUTIFUL CAT. XX
