Our dear wee cat Cidie has gone to the rainbow bridge.
The tiniest of cats with the biggest of purrs she has shared our lives for nearly 20 years and what a pleasure it has been to have her with us.
I can still remember clearly going to the Glasgow Cat and Dog Home for a kitten and standing in a queue. By the time we reached the front there was only one kitten left and it was her. It was meant to be. She fitted in a tissue box and spent her first days basking in the tissue box under the bedside lamp as she like the warmth.
She liked to be warm all her life and used to seek out sunny patches, the back of Pophammy's computer, the Aga, the top of the boiler and sometimes I wondered how she didn't cook she got so warm.
Cidie was a charmer, small in size but big in personality and she was certainly first in the queue when the purrs were issued.
She was a gentle cat who never hunted and never even looked at the hamsters. She liked the dogs and her lifelong buddy Kennedy who she shared a love hate relationship with, one day cuddled up together the next spagging each other.
She has been fighting renal disease for the past year and has been a brave and dignified lady through it all but last week she asked to go and I was proud to hold her paw and step a little way on the path with her. She purred till her last breath.
Play well at the bridge sweet girl and keep warm with your friends who went before. We miss your mew and your one black toe and your tortie softness and most of all we miss your purr and your very special presence. You were one in a million.
love Souffle, BigD and Pophammy and all your animal friends xxxxxxxx
