Faithful Friends

My cat Timothy (Burmese cross) died of kidney failure December 13th 2005 at the age of 16. I have been blessed with him since he was 11 weeks old. I brought him from the Pearcedale Animal Aid in February 1990, he chose me that day. He was the best friend anyone could hope to have and I will miss him forever until I’m able to join him again. He’s now with his Grampa in heaven. He was extremely affectionate and we were hardly ever apart. He loved to sleep right next to me under the blankets at night and play in the sun by day.

Timothy, I love you and I don’t know what I’m going to do without you, I had almost 16 wonderful years with you, till we meet again my friend.

Salem McGown, AKA- Baobab, Saybay, Balemo. Salem died October 2005, aged 4. He was hit by a car.
My little man, I was so blessed to share your life, so cursed to have you taken from me. I miss your warm little self snuffling under the blankets, your clumsy, uncat behaviour, your nose inside the fridge whenever it opened, your constant purr and eyes aglow in your little bat face. Your absence has left a void in our house and in my heart. May Bast be watching over you. (Bast is the ancient Egyptian Cat Goddess).

I luv you always, Treena.

We were given Fluffy as a kitten in 2001. She was a bit fiesty and crazy. She was a part of the family for 4 years. Fluffy passed away on 6.12.2005 at the young age of 4 due to being hit by a car. She was very much loved from the moment we brought her home. A happy fiesty cat with attitude but acted like a princess. She lives through the eyes of all her kittens. Fluffy you were a wonderful loving and unique cat that we will always remember and hold a special place in our hearts.

Timmy, Timikins, and Timbo,
were some of the names
we had for you.
Tim-Tam was a favourite too.

You were our special tabby,
And we think of you still.
You had such personality,
not the usual ‘run of the mill’.

You came from Keysborough Animal shelter
As an 8 week old kitten.
You joined the Lavelle’s in Chelsea Hts, Victoria
and was a welcome addition.

We lived 9 happy years with you,
when you died suddenly in September 2002.

Rest in peace, wherever you’re at.
We’ll always remember you,
our darling, beloved cat.

His Name was 4 10, his breed - Persian, black in colour. He died on 20th May 2000 at 7 years of age. He was found at a town dump, out West by a friend who gave him to us as a kitten at about 6 weeks old. He spent 7 years with us till he was bitten by a snake and died.

In loving memory of my friend 4 10, he is sadly missed by us all including his doggie playmate and his mate, lady cat. He was a shy cat and could always be found hiding in the bed, under the doona. You knew he was there becasue of the large lump in the middle of the bed. He has been gone a few years now but a tear is always shed when thinking of you. We love you and miss you 4 10.

Shumba, you came to us when you were just 6 weeks old and although you were never a “cuddly” cat we still knew you loved us by the way you cuddled up to us at night when watching TV or curled up at our feet in bed at night.

Shumba was a tabby killed suddenly when hit by a speeding car 23/5/05. Aged just 3 1/2. You are now resting peacefully under a tree in the bush watching your Crestmead home. Your feline friend Gizmo still looks for you and misses you terribly.

You will be sadly missed Shumba, and always remembered. Mum and Cindy

Talia left us on 2 April 2005, aged 10 months, after being hit by a car. She came to us when aged 8 weeks, with her sister Milly. They lost their mother on the road and their owners abandoned them at 4 weeks of age. A rough start. That changed at our house, and we enjoyed and cherished them every moment.

They were inseparable, sleeping, eating and playing together, and they entertained us constantly. Talia was a beautiful, elegant feline, with a playful, kind, soft nature. All of our family, including Milly, miss her. We are now looking for a new friend for Milly. Talia is buried in our backyard, and Milly often sits on her gravestone….the kids reckon she is getting messages from Talia.

Tyrone, you came to us by a friend of a friend, at first you were very angry but time went on and you became one of our family members. We lost you in 2003 to cancer.

We love and miss you very much.

Lots of love Kaye, Lee, Connor, Jaylen, your doggy friends Sarah, Matey and Moe the cat from Lancefield Victoria.
