February 1998
Himalayan
We lost our Pukka
a gorgeous chocolate and tan Himalayan cat
in February and it tore my heart out.
We had had her with us for 17 years and
she was about 2 when we got her.
She had been my aunt's cat and was found next to
her body - hence her name.
She was not affectionate per se but sat guard
(facing away) wherever I was.
She also was a "dominant" cat so we could have
no other pets while she lived.
Her loss left me so torn up that I immediately
went to the local Humane Society (within hours!)
and brought a ten year old bruiser named SAM
who is affection personified.
He has helped tremendously but I still am in denial,
and cry at the drop of a hat.
I have bought a beautiful sleeping cat statue
from Jackson & Perkins the Rose people in Oreon
which will be put under a rose bud
tree sapling I am transplanting into my front
lawn this spring and her ashes will go under it.
With Loving Memories
