This blog is in remembrance to all my cats who have died in the past due to road accidents, poisoning, illnesses.

Here are some of my beloved cuties whom I miss so much because they were so adorable, affectionate and playful, I miss their company, they were a part of our family.

Recently, on 3 Nov 2014, I lost a cheerful female kitten named Goldie.
On 15 Nov 2014- I lost another male kitten whom I rescued at the Railway station and now I have lost our very affectionate Lina on 26 Dec 2014!


The list of my most beloved cats starting from the one I miss the most are as follows:

1) Michael the First

This is our first cat named Michael.
He was born in Feb 1999 to a cat named Jessie.
He had 2 other siblings named Jackie(a black cat) and Thomas(a white cat).
When we moved into our new property in 2003, we brought Michael along.
Michael lived in our new property till September 2003.
After that he was nowhere to be seen.
Michael was strong and well-built but was very gentle. He never used to get angry.
He had a very good temperament and was shy and afraid of strangers.
We cannot forget our first cat!

2) Twinkle

 

This is Twinkle. She was born on 19 July 2011 and died on 20 Nov 2012 due to poisoning.
Twinkle gave birth to 3 beautiful kittens on 1 Oct 2012, out of which 2 survive today.
Twinkle had a special liking for me, she would always brush herself against me and sometimes lick me. Her nature was affectionate, although she would get irritated with other people.

Her nature was very playful and very lively!

4) Lina cat 

Lina cat

Here is Lina cat. She was brought home in Oct 2014.
A very affectionate and motherly nature.
She died on 26 Dec 2014 when her body was found in our opposite road neighbor's compound. Possible reasons are due to poisoning or might have been hurt due to a vehicle.

  5) Dolly

Me and Dolly

This is Dolly. She was born somewhere in Nov 2013.
A very soft, cuddly, loving, playful and affectionate nature. She liked to lick me. She was lightweight and soft and cuddly to hold. What's unique in this cat is that she would always peep through the door and cry out so that we can let her in the house.
She left us on 10 Aug 2014 in the morning due to a road accident.

6) Tweety

 

This is Tweety. She was born somewhere in July 2010 and
  died on 30 Oct 2011 due to poisoning.
  She was very soft, cuddly, lightweight and affectionate.
  She would lick me always.
  I miss her!

7) Pinky

This is Pinky the III.
She was born on ~ Sept 2011 and died on 8 Oct 2012 due to pregnancy.
Her nature was motherly and playful.
What was special about this cat was, that she looked after 2 kittens who lost their mother.

8) Bubbles

Bubbles was rescued from a Railway station on 26 July 2014.
We think she was born somewhere in the first week of July 2014.
She was of a very quiet nature unlike other kittens who keep purring.
She is the cutest kitten I have ever seen and very quiet!
She died on 3 Aug 2014 due to Mercurochrome poisoning.

 

 

9) Pinky the II

Pinky( left) and Avril (right)

Pinky was a sickly kitten. She had a runny nose.
I also noticed her fur coat was dull and rough unlike other cats who have a bright fur coat, this indicated she was sick from birth.
She was born somewhere in Dec 2009 and died on 8 July 2010 due to getting wet in the rains.
Inspite of being sick from birth, she survived for long though we thought she would die early.
She trusted everyone and was not bothered by the environment.

10) Avril

 

This is Avril. She was thrown in our compound in Jan 2010.
She was born somewhere in Nov 2009 and died on 15 March 2012 due to poisoning.
Avril was always crying, the sound of her cry was very distinct.
She even used to give a massage by pressing her paws on my back, that was quite relieving.
She littered altogether 6 kittens on different occasions.

11) Mara 

I don't have a picture of Mara, although she has a 95% resemblance to the picture I have drawn.
She was born on 1 March 2009 to a black cat named Mini. Mara had 2 other sibling, one of them is Michael who is still living today and the other is Tinu who died in June 2009.
Mara had a selfish yet adorable nature.
She liked my dad more than me, she greeted my dad whenever he came home.
Mara littered 6 kittens on 11 Oct 2009 of which only 1 of them survive today.
Mara died on 2 Feb 2010 due to a road accident.

12) Woldo

Woldo was born to Mara on 11 Oct 2009.
He had a special liking for me.
I remember on 31 July 2010, he was following me on the road when I was leaving for college.
The face of him missing me when I'm away still strikes me as if Woldo was trying to tell me-"Please don't go to college, please accompany me or else I will die".
He was missing since then, or is believed to be dead as he was nowhere to be seen on 2 Aug 2010.
I really miss Woldo!

13) Two cute brothers

These 2 kittens were brought home in June  2013.
 Initially they were frightened of us, but later they confided in us and became attached.
 They did not live for long and died in June 2013 due to the rains.

14) Frisky - deaf kitten

Frisky was born deaf. She was born somewhere in Jan 2014. We loved her very much.

On 17 July 2014, Frisky passed away.

15) Chotu

I rescued Chotu near the Railway station on 13 July 2014. He was looking weak and sickly and so I decided to bring him home to give him the best he needs.

Ever-since I brought him, he looked sad and depressed and was afraid of me.

I gave him bath the first day.

He was comfortable living with other cats in our compound.

He died somewhere on 15 Nov 2014 due to a road accident.

Bobby was born on 21 Jan 2011. He was born to a cat named Avril. Somewhere in 2012, some cruel person hit him on his leg which left his leg bone permanently dislocated. He respected my dad and always obeyed my dad's instructions. He was intelligent. He used to get irritated with me. About 4 months before his death, he lost fur on his body. He died on 14 Oct 2015 in the morning at around 7 am. His head was spinning before he died. We think that Bobby had died due to contaminated food.

A day before he died, he spent time with me sleeping on my bed.

21) Remy

Remy was born around Jan 2016. We adopted him in the last week of Feb 2016. For 8 months, he was afraid of us and had a very sweet, chirpy voice. He was growing well and became chubby and cuddly. He became less afraid of us. He died somewhere on 9 Jan 2017 due to a car accident.
