Kitties we Remember

 

Sweet Spooky II, on January 8, 2006

This precious fur baby died too young at age 4.5 because of Heartworm.

Our then vet, had not given us the right protection against it, only against ticks and flees, not including heartworm. So sad and since then I've always ordered my own prescription on line.


A young Barty, not yet two years old...
Always following us and wanting to be near us; like magnets!


Spooky II, proudly standing near his Papi!


Strange, our Spooky II got named Boots by the Humane Society...
The local newspaper's date was erroneous printed as October and it was Thursday, November 7, 2002.
A cute tuxedo cat-man!


Wearing my calf hair Escada boots, Escada pony hair leather skirt and the cuddly warm Mink coat that I inherited from dear friend Ellie as she, neither her daughter Elvira could fit into it any longer.

  2. Hello Mariette, What a good-looking cat Spooky II was, and what a pity he had to go so early due to negligence. The weather here is now cold and damp, and I wish I had some of my heavier coats left in Cleveland--so many people think that places like Georgia, Taipei or Florida are tropical paradises with constant warm sunshine!

    1. Dearest Jim,
      Spooky II was sure good looking and a smart and fun cat.
      We both remember all too well how cold it could be in central Java, even freezing up in the mountains! We had to wear a warm jacket early mornings. Also the dampness during the rainy season is a challenge. No, tropical paradises with constant sunshine exists only on tourist brochures...
      Hugs,
      Mariette

  5. You are so very organized with all your photos and memories. I have been trying to find pictures of Jingles when she was little but have absolutely no idea where they could be. Or did I not take too many? That would have been the time of cameras and still developing film which I miss doing.

    1. Dearest Tammy,
      Thank you but that took quite some effort for making things all digital!
      With the help of our diaries through 2004 it is rather easy to go back to most things. Nowadays, there is a date/place and such on digital images.
      Wish that you would be able to retrieve those pictures of little Jingles! It helps so much after you loose them.
      Hugs,
      Mariette

  7. Se siente mucha tristeza, cuando un animal de compañía se te muere. Ellos ya forman parte de la familia y siempre se recordarán.

      Too late for mentioning Christmas right now, five days after having had NO INTERNET!
      So glad they came on Sunday morning to repair it.

  11. Such wonderful photos! It is sad your vet didn’t guide you to a protection against heart worm. Spooky II was a very handsome boy. Love the photos of you and Pieter with Spooky II and Barty.

    P.S. My coworker gave me a bottle of honey for Christmas. It looked somewhat familiar.. Of course, because it was honey by Blue Ridge Honey Company you posted about :-)

      Thank you and yes it is sure sad if you trust a professional and feel being let down... Such a high price to pay for it and Spooky II was a handsome boy.
      What a 'sweet' coincidence with the honey you received! You will enjoy it for substituting sugar and eating healthier.
      Hugs,
      Mariette
