RIP my beautiful brave Candy (aka Candy Canes)
Candy born 23 of April under my boyfriends bed on his 11th birthday, The best birthday he has ever had - died 23/8/2013 torn apart by a dog while she slept in her bush in our front garden.
I am soo sorry i was not there to defend you or protect you as i should of done and i am soo glad we had that little talk and cuddle before i left. When i was told i just wanted to get home and hold you in my arms.
You were and always will be the best cat in the world. You never were a trouble even when you nagged at the front door come midnight to go out. How i wish we could have just one more stand off at the door. I will always look down the road from the door and expect to see your little face running so fast as you were scared i will lock you out (even though we both knew i wouldnt) You had only recently been diagnosed with thyroids but were stable in months. I loved giving you your treats, i guess you knew it had a tablet in it but you took it anyway and more. I am so proud of you and you did not deserve this end. You shown Fudge the ways of being part of the Candy cat family. Even though you made it out you hated him, you always followed him around the street to make sure he was ok and i am forever glad. Fudge does all the little Candy things i loved you for. In a way i know its because you taught him. Licky (twin brother) is in bits. He stares out the window, searches your normal spots and looks for your scent. When he cant find you he whines at me and it breaks my heart. If you could Candy, visit him and show some sign that you are with him and us. I promise to you that i will look after him more so then i ever have before. Even though Licky is my cat, you were my first cat. I will always remember your tapping on Baz;s window the first time i was round and him asking him if i liked cats. Before i knew it you were sat on my knee straight away and head bumped me. Watching you two together was a like a special moment in time. I picture it whenever i think of you. You sleeping on his stomach, laying with him every time he was sick. Thank you for looking after him when he had swine flu. You knew i couldnt see him yet you never left his side. When ever my earphones get ear wax over them i will smile at the thought of you. You really went to town licking them clean for me. haha.
We are heart broken and i will never get over this or forgive the people involved.
Don't you worry Candy i will not let you of died in vain. I will fight for laws to be changed for cats in your name.
Sleep tight and hope Winnie (Mum RIP) and Katie (grandma RIP) are treating you well.
I love you always and forever. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
