Well now you three, what did you guide me towards with Billy and Zarny? Did you know they needed a crazy home like this? I can see flashes of you three, Ginger you would be proud of how clean Zarny keeps Billys ears! Fred you would be impressed by the jumping flipping antics of them both with the flying frenzy. Benji, I have no doubt you have sent them to us for a reason and hope I can do you proud.

Miss you all and thank you for the gift that is Billy and Zarny!

Guiding lights, Jen, just remember the guiding lights.

They'll be nodding and slow blinking, you be sure of it Jen.  They'll all know how much your heart aches, but how lonely it is for you and your OH without them by you.   :hug:

I hope you all approve up there of my visit on Wednesday. I can almost hear your mutterings, I have no doubt there is a guiding paw or 3 somewhere in all this.

Miss you all.

Missing you all lots tonight, had a stressful day at work and not feeling well. Can't do my usual cuddle a cat and play with your jelly bean toes, it's amazing how much better you all made me feel.

You are back home with us now sweetie. Back together with Fred and Ginger as you should be. I miss you like you would not believe.
Thank you for your visits, it is a great comfort right now to know you are still around. I hope you are looking after your brother and sister, but also that you are having fun.
You are all in my heart and my life has been brighter for you being in it.

What a beautiful tribute to a lovely boy. I'm so sorry Jen, that Benji  had to go.

Benji, rest peacefully, knowing how much you were loved.  We are sorry you could not stay longer on this earth with your Mum, but you had to go.

Oh Sweetheart, where do I begin? I really wish I were more eloquent to express just how much you mean to me and how hard it has hit me to lose you.

Despite everything you have been through in life you were a trusting, loving furry friend. I can't believe the first family who adopted you returned you, they cannot comprehend what they have missed out on. You really were meant to be with us, if the vet that gave you a clean bill of health to go home had been 15 minutes later I would never have known you and my life would have been all the poorer for it.

My heart is just in pieces at losing you, although I know it was time for you to go and Fred and Ginger needed you with them. I know you are not in any more pain now and are at peace. I will always think of you, there will always be a piece of you, Fred and Ginger in my heart.

I miss your naughty antics, miss you shouting at me for dinner! I miss burying my face in your fur, playing with your jelly bean toes! and your bizarrely long toe hair!

You were such a gentle giant with Fred and Ginger when they arrived on the scene, disrupting your peace! You were so patient and understanding and were a real big brother to them. Your bond with Fred is something I will never forget and just shows what a wonderful cat you are.

I miss your gorgeous fluffy belly and giving you belly rubs.

I miss that sparkle in your eyes. You were too bright to stay in this world too long, be at peace sweetie. Look after your brother and sister and I will keep you in my heart. Always.  :Luv:
