We lost our little cat yesterday, His name was Alfie and he was two on the 1st January . He gave so much joy to us , this little cat who thought that he was a dog. He would fetch foam balls and kick them back to us or bring them over in his mouth. He was vocal and talked to us in ways that we just knew what he wanted. He loved Colin, infact he idolised him. Always wanting to cuddle in like a baby he would stretch out in Colins arms and look up to him with so much love, he would stretch his arm up as if to cuddle him. Colin is tall with those long legs that Alfie just loved, his favourite position to stretch along Colins legs and hang dog :-)
When we'd been out he would greet us or Colin by tromping up the hall like some little wind up toy. Kismet loved him but would never let him know, he often bullied her but i'm sure she liked it :-) She hasn't ate since yesterday and just lies around looking so sad. We don't know what to do to help her, she isn't a cuddly cat like Alfie was. She used to get him into so much trouble and lead him astray , i can just see him now sitting under the side table that was his gang hut, his safe place , he thought no-one could reach him from there. He had this way of facing up to things he was frightened of, in a way that said i'm wary but i'm also inquisitive to know what you are . He was our funny little boy.
The vet said he got a blood clot that went to his heart, this is often seen in older cats and is quite unusual for young ones. I can't quite take it in, he was our baby and the flat seems so empty without him, yet i can still feel his spirit, such a beautiful spirit.
Colin is heartbroken and i have no words , we can only hold each other and be each others handky.
Anyone who has lost a pet will understand how we feel i'm sure .
Alfie we miss you , we love you and you will forever be in our hearts . RIP xxx
