Title: Gem is now a jewel in the Sky
Post by: Liz on October 04, 2008, 16:22:26 PM
Our darling little tortie Gem went to the Bridge at 11.27am this morning with both Robin and I in attendance

She fought a brave battle against FIP but this cruel disease stole our darling girl

She leaves behind devastated parents in Robin and I, her darling brother Brodie and her lasting legacy Baby Beijing :hug:

She had 4 months a 4 days in our loving care and although not long in time in leaving she leaves a huge gaping hole that will be with us for a long time

The indoor cats all lined the stairs as she was leaving the house including Blue who we don't see in daylight that often and Miss Cissy and her crew also came down stairs.  The outside cats lined the drive and even the ones who don't like each other sat next to each other in respect for their little sister.

So darling Gem we thankyou for the time we had with you I only wish it could have been longer for all our sakes

So godspeed our darling tortie, reunited with Star, Cairo and Shanghai your kittens and all the Clan cats waiting for you at the bridge

Gem adopted 29 May 2008  died 4 October 2008 aged 1 year and a Clan Cat forever

I am so sorry her time has come Liz, but she was lucky to have ended up with you and be allowed to go peacefully, with dignity and with people who loved her. What an awful year it has been for losing loved ones. RIP little one.

tThankyou all for your kind sentiuments

Today Robin and I have dealt with it in different ways - he went to work and I had a day of just cats and dogs - we all played tennis and Sky was very good and let Clio one of the ferals have his best tennis ball - we also played football to!

Jazz and the ladies watched from the conservatory as the weather was dry and sunny but very cold!

The cats have all been a bit clingy including Blue our latest nasty feral he spent the day lying on the bed after I stripped it so its just been made up with the winter duvet on!

Post by: Liz on October 09, 2008, 16:18:48 PM
Robin and i will be going to pick up Gem on Saturday so she can come home forever and join the others on the shelf in our bedroom

We have been given a discount at the crematorium as the owner remebered we did Gracie and gems kittens back in July - Kittens in one casket and gracie on her own

It will be nice to have her home and then I think we can move on

Brodie her brother is like a limpet and Beijing is being a couthy kitten and both have slept with me since Saturday and its so nice :Luv2:

Post by: Liz on October 04, 2009, 15:42:22 PM
So our darling tiortie Gem you have ben gone for a year, only 4 months a member of the Clan but what memories you leave

Your daughter and lasting legacy is her Daddies Baby Gorgeous and has grown in to a beautiful youing lady with no manners and so much tortietude that at times I can see you in her more and more

Your darling brother Broduies is my shadow and is always never more than a paw away and he misses you

I miss you and wish we had more time together but it wasn't to be but you were loved and very much wanted here and just wish we could have got to you sooner and perhaps you would still be here

We will never know that one my tortie darling loved and missed everyday by all here at the Clan

Daddy is remembering you to on a flight to Trinidad he mentioned you this morning so still in our minds and always in our hearts

Darling Gem of the Clan Cats :Luv2:

Well my darling little nortie tortie I am abit late this year remembering your sad passing, again Daddy and I are in different countries with an ocean between us this time but he mentioned you in his email this morning

Your daughter is all we could ever hope for her to be she has attitude and now only answers to Baby Gorgeous and continues to hold a special place in our hearts as the only kitten to be born at the Clan, your brother Brodie is till my chin warmer and still thinks I am his world

So my little nortie tortie Gem missed every day is special ways and always a Clan cat forever ;D
