j Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 (edited) We said goodbye to my beautiful Ginger puss on 05April14. He was 17 1/2, coming to us as an 8 week old kitten as a Christmas present for our two daughters Later, we had a son who shared Ginger's birthday He was a lovely boy, very tolerant of the kids and he taught them about love, affection and commitment. He loved a bit of time in the garden He was big on quality control and always had to check the standards of any boxes in the house He also loved "helping", whether it was by sitting on the craftwork I was doing, sitting on the bed I was trying to make, or amongst the piles of washing I was folding He was always trying to further his education and finally managed to get the 12 X tables down pat Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free Edited April 14, 2014 by j Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 Somehow, no matter what time of day it was, I would always start tiptoeing if I walked into the bedroom and you were still curled up asleep You shared the first day of school with all our kids, you helped them unwrap birthday and Christmas presents. You were a beautiful man and I'm missing you like crazy. I was your devoted door slave and now feel redundant. Thanks for sharing our lives and trusting us with yours. Goodbye is definitely the hardest word Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stellnme Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 He looks like a cat who knew he was a much loved part of your family. Sleep well, beautiful boy, you will live on in your family's hearts and memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 Thank you all. He really has left a hole in my heart. And only an hour or so after posting this, I got a call from the Vet to say that his ashes had been returned and were ready to be picked up. To say I didn't have a very productive day at work would be an understatement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavstar Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 I'm sorry for your loss. We said goodbye to our own ginger boy, Miles, 3 years ago when he was 15 & I still miss him like crazy. Ginger cats are the best RIP Ginger Puss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Anne~ Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 How handsome was he j! I wanted to ask you to post a pic of him and you have. He is as gorgeous as I thought he might be. I know you must miss him terribly. How lucky was Ginger puss to have you as his owner. A very lucky Ginger puss indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
