R.I.P. Davey.....

Sun Sep 7, 2008, 2:37 PM
Been absent of late... one of my feline companions passed away recently...

PLEASE don't say he was just a cat, he was more than that... He was a brave little soldier who battled on for so long having been born deaf (he was a British Odd Eye and deafness is often synonymous with blue eyed white haired animals) and lost one of his front legs as a youngster when he got caught in the heavy matting of a rapeseed field nearby by a combine harvester... He couldn't hear it, but by the time he sensed it was near, he couldn't get out the matting... He dragged himself home and his loving family had him operated on to save his life...

He battled on for another 20 years until this morning... When old age finally caught up with him... It broke my heart to find his cold lifeless little body this morning...

The whole family miss him terribly... I miss seeing him hopping along like a little bunny; wailing to get fed (being deaf he could REALLY wail too!); climbing in the bass drum of our drummer's kit when we rehearse in the garage; his gorgeous odd eyes - hence the name Davey - after David Bowie...

It's been a sad day today... and we're going to bury him in the garden beneath his late owner's favourite tree... She would have liked that...

:(


Sometimes I prefer the company of animals to humans... they're loyal. They never judge or criticise, and they always listen and respond... such honest non-judgemental creatures... and no maliciousness... only innocence and unconditional love...

Yes, he was more than a 'cat' - he was like a little person... one of my dearest little friends... and I will miss him.

JACO - the little white cat featured in my gallery senses he is gone... and has been crying alot - and unsettled... like he's looking for his wee pal. It's been sad for him too... he's been exceptionally clingy and cuddly.

Davey - wherever you are now... I hope you're running free, climbing trees and chasing birdies again...

... sending my sincerest condolences...
... never was there ever "just a cat"...
... They choose to love and mingle with us, they can look right thru our souls !
... No wonder,God portrays Himself in feline terms --- as the "Lion of Judah"...
... indeed, RIP, Davey !
... Keep giving Jaco that extra love --- they DO mourn one another !
They are a part of your lives and when they go a part of your life goes with them. No, not just a cat, or a dog or whatever.

Twenty is a good age for a feline, and it looks like he had good companions in his life.
My sympathy and empathy on your loss Kat! RIP Davey!
:hug: Oh no! I am so sorry to hear that! Poor Davey! Stay strong Kat! Cats are our special companions and of course the loss is greater than most can imagine! :heart:

Normal is what other people do.
I'm sorry :hug:

One of my cats likes to sleep inside my bass drum...not while I'm playing though ;)
I often find it harder to lose an animal then a person. Animals are far superior in their ability to love then humans ever will be. Davey is most certainly chasing birdies and climbing trees and im sure he;s sleeping i na bass drum somewhere too. Very sorry about your loss babe.
keep your head up :kiss::hug:

I'm very sorry for what happend. I know how hard it is to loose a loved animal. My kitty died two years ago, and I still miss her a lot.

I did not turn back. I pressed on, and eventually passed over the border, beyond which lies a place that is wordless and cold, so cold that it, like mercury, burns a freezing blue flame
