DUCHA RIP 13 Aug 93 - 16 Aug 12
Oh Ducha my special boy my heart is broken and just dont know the words to say.
I dont feel I ever gave you as much as I should have and for that I am so sorry, I know you wanted to be a lapcat but your 3 legs made it hard for you to get comfy and you did try for a short time.
I so wish I had seen you as a 4 legged cat cos I reckon you were just like Napoleon and even with 3 legs you managed to get over the fence................sigh, I was so scared when I saw you trying to get back and pleased I was on hand to help.
Up until just over a year ago you liked the occasional walk in the garden but most of all you liked the bedroom where you have lived since day one. You were the kindest, most gentle cat and my little slinky minky you also had a devil side
You loved to sleep with me on my bed and put your head on my pillow next to me and then while I was asleep you would get your paws in my hair and lick it and send out your happy purrs. I loved your happy purrs and am so sorry I couldnt have you lying on my head since I was ill again as my head hurt too much. I hope you understood that I still loved you just as much
I sorted the bedroom out just for you with everything you needed and you used it all. You hopped across the space from my bed and your bed on the sofa and used me as a road during the night.
I would have loved to have you downstairs more but over the last year the stairs were too much for you most of the time and you hated being picked up. You were a proud boy and wanted to do things under your own steam.
I always meant to take loads more pictures of you and am so sorry that I didnt.
I was so pleased you had a lovely 19th birthday and enjoyed your chicken dinner but so sad you had to leave so soon after
I loved you with all my heart and hope that you know that and this tribute seems so inadequate for the huge hole in my heart that you have left.
Pictures are Ducha on his 18th birthday and for me the very sadest two of him yesterday morning before I made vet appointment. I so wanted him to start eating but he didnt and underneath those fantastic looks he had lost every ounce of weight, he had had. It literally dropped off him in 24 hours
