I will never forget my dear Bambers. He was truly a one in a million cat. He was a tom cat always on the prowl. To keep him totally in the house would have been a terrible and cruel life for him. While outside he would hunt and bring me home treats. He would bring me sparrows mice and even brought me a snake one time. He must have thought I was his child and needed to be taken care of. I remember one particular time I cought him up in the neighbors birdfeeder waiting for that special catch. Must have been his idea of a bait pile!
If we left and went to the store and he was outside he would be waiting on the porch when we came back. Sometimes he would really ball us out….*meow meow* As if to say….where have you been? I have been waiting for you!!
The outside life finally caught up with my baby as he was a victim of feline leukemia. We treated him for it as much as we could but it finally caught up with him. On April 17 1999 I had to make the awful choice to finally give him the peace of death. I know in my heart it was time but still feel the guilt of it.
I will never forget Bambers for he was one in a million. To this day I have never accepted another cat to replace him. I know he and his love are irreplacable. I also find comfort knowing that he will be waiting on the other side of the rainbow bridge for me and I can’t wait to get there….
