It is Ginger's second anniversary today, I can't believe how quick the time has gone. I am lucky that Molly is nearly as special as Ginger was, she has been a big help in dealing with his loss.

He was a very special cat, I doubt I will have another like him. He certainly will, he loved to sun himself.

Thanks.

Ginger sounded like a very, very special loved one, and was very lucky to have had you.
Ginge will be lying in the sun up on Rainbow Bridge, happy and content, and looking forward to meeting you again one day.

Sending you big comforting hugs

what a beautiful tribute for a beautiful boy

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #21 on:** January 01, 2008, 23:09:00 PM »

Thanks JS, me too!! Biggest test will be Mol's bloods in a couple of weeks.

He was a wonderful cat, everyone loved him, even my Granddad who supposedly didn't like cats - he liked our previous ginger and white cat too. Ginger knew his car engine and would always go for a fuss when he still lived on the streets, and occasionally said hello when my granddad dropped me off.

Desley, I'm sorry the end of 2007 was so sad for you. Hoping this year brings you more joy than sadness.

Ginger sounds like a cat I'd have liked too - I love independant moggies.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #19 on:** December 31, 2007, 14:18:39 PM »

Thanks, he certainly was.

That is a lovely tribute to Ginger, who was obviously a very special pud

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #17 on:** December 31, 2007, 12:05:48 PM »

Thanks everyone, he certainly didn't have a good start, bless him, passed from home to home, then life on the streets. It never stopped his good nature though.

RIP Ginger, he may not have had the best start to life but sounds like he had the perfect ending

a lovely tribute desley

hope you having lots of fun Ginger, keep roaming and playing

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #13 on:** December 30, 2007, 19:37:42 PM »

Well, it is nearly the end of a full year without you, and it has been a very hard year, especially with losing Pebbles, Granddad and Tiger - hope you have found Granddad and Snowy, and ignored Tig, Pebbles and Tiger. I had a bad day on Christmas Eve, yet another Christmas without you, and the first one without Granddad and Tiger, and then felt guilty cos you are in my thoughts more than the others, but I had no time to prepare for you losing me, you went like you did in life, quiet, unassuming and without bothering anyone. IT is quite ironic that in taking you in, I wanted you to have a loving home for the end of your life, and not go on the street, and you still did, although the big difference was it was your choice, you could have stayed with Uncy Harold, or you could have asked to come home, but you chose your spot in the fresh air - your years in a home never quite stopped your free roaming spirit, did they? You were lucky to be able to have the kind of life you need, you were the only cat I could ever leave out while I Went to work. I wondered if your loss had made me too weak to continue helping oldies, but I think I would be dishonouring your memories if I did that, sadly there are too many oldies who end up needing a home through no fault of their own, just like you did, and I know none of you would want me to stop helping them, you would all be proud that another oldie would get the love and care you did. RIP little one.

Nite Nite special boy xx

It was funny really, as I only went out that early cos i have someone looking at the kittens, and I got back, realised I had forgot something, went back out and it wasn't there!!

Well, I have one coming when I get back off my hol, if I hadn't been going, she could have been here in time for his anniversary, so she might be his tribute

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #9 on:** September 29, 2007, 11:36:11 AM »

Well done Ginger, they do the same for me now

I am sure he will send you a special oldie who needs long term TLC

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #8 on:** September 29, 2007, 11:07:52 AM »

Well, I nipped to do some errands earlier, and saw a rainbow, which made me smile (and a tear to my eye at the same time!!). I can't believe a year has gone by, I dont think he will send me a special someone, I think he would prefer me to keep helping needy cats by fostering, he was picked up off the streets.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #7 on:** September 29, 2007, 10:50:37 AM »

Desley, Ginger might have sent a sign so unassuming (as he was) that you've not noticed it! I'm sure he checks up on you from time to time, because you took such good care of him and he wants to repay the favour. I'm sure he knew you loved him.

RIP, Ginger.

ChrisB · « **Reply #6 on:** September 28, 2007, 19:45:12 PM »

Desley, thinking of you - I know how difficult it is - all our furries are special but some just find that extra special place in our hearts.

Gill (sneakiefeline) · « **Reply #5 on:** September 28, 2007, 17:39:50 PM »

How time disappears, it just seems like yesterday Desley

Ginger please send your slave a beautiful rainbow so she knows you are OK and your pawprint is forever in her heart.

Desley, I can't believe its been a year.

Ginger will be just fine on the Bridge playing with his new friends, and you will see him again one day.

I hope he sends you a rainbow soon

Awww... Des

Honestly, I know what you are doing through, I felt the same way when it was one year since I had lost Napoleone, my beloved hamster. It was a month ago. It is so hard to take, but we must realise that our furry loved ones would like you to remember them with smiles, not with tears. It will make him happy to see you smile again from up there. And trust that he will send a special "someone" for you to meet, and share life with when the time is right. It will not be like "replacing" him with another, as every kitties are special in their own way.... but it is also a way to keep his legacy alive, so keep your eyes and heart open!!

RIP Ginger, play hard over the rainbow bridge... and send Desley a sign when you can to cheer her up!!

P.S: Napoleone sent me Oliver (ironically it may seem!!), who joined us almost 2 weeks ago... he is a purrrrfect companion!!

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #1 on:** September 28, 2007, 07:44:23 AM »

I can't believe that this time last year, he was still with me, there were no signs he didn't have long left, so we just went about our usual mornign routine, which was a quick fuss, brekkie and then out. I wish I had known what was going to happen so I could have done something different that day, and made more of a fuss of him, or told him I loved him. There wasn't even any signs to my neighbour, he just wandered in and out of his house for a bit, which wasn't unusual, esp as it was a relatively sunny day, he was lucky that while he had an owner that worked all day, he had neighbours that he could spend the day with, and therefore go in and out like he wanted, he would have hated being cooped up all day. He never made much fuss in life, and even chose to go the same way, spent time with the people he loved and then took himself off outside. It has been so hard this year without him, and made worse by other hard events, I think about him every day and his death has affected me more than any other cat I have lost, I really dont feel like the same person I was at times. I dont think I will ever have the pleasure of 'owning' a cat as wonderful as Ginger ever again.

RIP my little man, I hope you are happy up there, and that you have met up with Snowy and Granddad. Do send me a sign to say you are OK. xx
