4 September
2011 we lost our sweet, gorgeous boy
Félix Les Amours de Kerliou.
With pain in our
hearts we had to abandon him way too soon to
the assassin called FIP ....
9
September 2010 our 'Black Diva', Onda van Scarlettini, left us.
We will miss her very distinct and vocal presence ....
With sadness we had to say goodbye to our Dewi, August 12, 2010
We are devastated
that, totally unexpected and way too soon, we had to say goodbye to our beloved
and very special boy Sweety. We will cherish the beautiful memories of this
unique cat.
He will stay in our hearts forever......
After a long and good life, my beloved horse Vanja passed away in the age of almost 32 years. She was the one who gave me strength during difficult years in the past. Having been part of my life for almost 30 years, it will take time to getting used to the idea that she is no longer around.
Thank you, sweet
horse, for all the goods things you gave to me.

and farewell toChérie
Bodil and Cinderella stayed with her till she was taken away by the crematory
... so touching .....
It wasn't meant to be .....
He was with us for only one week and we already loved him so much ....
Goldy suffered of an intussusception and in spite of two operations he had to give up.
He will rest next to his grandfather Galaxy.
We miss him.
Nicole Hulten,
cattery Abilities, sent us, as a consolation, a wonderful story.
Read it here
"wenn Du bei Nacht den Himmel anschaust, wird
es Dir sein, als lachten die Sterne.
Weil ich auf einem von Ihnen wohne.....
Weil ich auf einem von ihnen lache.
Nur Du alleine wirst die Sterne haben, die lachen können.
Und wenn Du Dich getröstet hast,
wirst Du froh sein mich gekannt zu haben."
(Antoine de Saint-Exupéry)
Nun ist der kleine Goldfinger bestimmt bei
seinem Opa auf dem Stern und sie werden nur für Euch lachen und nur Ihr werdet
es hören.
Gute Reise kleiner Freund und grüß mir Deinen wundervollen Opa von mir.
Liebe Grüße,
Marisa
We are in immense
grief over the death of our beloved boy Galaxy,9 September 2008. We can hardly
comprehend that he is gone forever. Galaxy was a unique animal with a wonderful
and sweet temperament. He cannot be missed
.... We will never forget him and he lives on in our memory.
Galaxy has been layed to rest in our garden.
Arnhem, 29 March 2008 - in happier days .....
We received innumerable sweet and touching reactions and it gives us a good feeling to know that we have many good friends in the catfancy. We want to thank everyone from the bottom of our heart for the support. A few reactions are below.
Still, seid leise.
es ist ein Engel auf der Reise,
er wollte nur kurz bei euch sein,
warum er ging weiß Gott allein,
vergesst ihn nicht, er war so klein.
Ein Hauch nur bleibt vom ihm zurück,
in meinem Herzen ein großes Stück,
er wird jetzt immer bei euch sein,
vergesst ihn nicht, er war so klein.
Geht nun ein Wind an milden Tag,
so denkt, es war sein Flügelschlag,
und wenn ihr fragt, wo mag er sein?
Ein Engel, der ist nie allein.
Er kann nun alle Farben sehn,
auf vier Pfoten durch die Wolken gehn
und wenn ihr ihn auch so vermißt
und weint weil er nicht mehr bei euch ist,
dann denkt, im Himmel, wo s ihn jetzt gibt,
erzählt er stolz,
"Ich werde geliebt"

Sternenkatzen gurren leise,
begleiten dich auf deiner Reise.
geliebtes Katzenkind.
Nur wir sind hier zurückgeblieben,
vergiss uns nicht,
die die dich lieben.

Gail French, USA, wrote this beautiful poem for Galaxy.
Galaxy
My name is Galaxy of the Seventh Heaven
Look into my eyes they are the color of a springtime meadow
There you will find wisdom
I am an old soul
My name is Galaxy
My life here was oh, so very short
A hundred years would be too short a time
I live on in my companion’s memories
and the kittens I fathered with deep love and devotion
My name is Galaxy
I am a dancer
I follow the sunbeams as they dance around my home
My fur is the color of the silver moonlight
and a frosty morning
My name is Galaxy
I am the bringer of peace
the giver of boundless love
Can you see my shadow as I run to greet you when you return to our home?
I am here,
I am as close as that shadow that crosses your path
My name is Galaxy
Look up into the night sky
You will see me there, dancing amongst the stars and infinite galaxies
My name is Galaxy
Can you hear my purr?
Can you hear my voice, telling you of my day?
I will reside in your hearts forever
I will wait for youIn deepest sympathy
