Today is the second anniversary of losing Napoleon. His corner memorial garden is growing well, with white flowers in bloom at every season and I say hello to him every time I go out of my gate. I love all my cats of course, but no-one can replace him, his sense of fun, his affection and his intelligence. His loss has affected our lives so much, making me paranoid about safety when I thought I had found a cat paradise here in a hamlet with no through traffic and surrounded by fields.

Always in my heart. RIP sweet boy.

Here he is when he was dumped on my doorstep


And six months later

Jenny i remember the day you first posted about your boys. I remember we didn't realise how white they were until you took them in and cleaned them up
Then that awful post when he was poisoned


I hope your having a wonderful time over the bridge Napoleon, your mum misses you so much

It's always such an honour to be able to spend time with cats like Napoleon. I'm so sorry you didn't have longer with him. Only the good die young as they say.

That's great you have such a beautiful reminder of him though. Sending lots of

I remember this day so well, too. Very heartbreaking. What an absolute miracle you did for that sweetheart. Just look at the 2nd pic
I know he will always be in your memory, until you see him again.
Dear Napoleon you beautiful angel

Napolean was such a beautiful boy.
His time here was too short, but he lives on in your heart. Thank you for sharing him us.

Every time I see you post I think of him. It just broke my heart - and honestly, I can't believe it's been that long. Did you ever post a pic of his garden in bloom? I'd love to see it.

Napoleon - you are very missed. I know you send your love to your family every day and that you're there playing in your garden, they just can't see you.


to you, Jenny.

Laurie

Like Susan, I remember when those poor two boys were dumped on your doorstep, skinny, and covered in dirt (or motor oil?), and nobody knew that under all of that were a beautiful pair of white kittens. I'll be honest, my heart broke when I heard of his passing. It's always tragic when a beloved pet dies, but he really was one of our own, kind of "born and raised" here because you shared him with us.

I'm with Laurie, I'd love to see a picture of Napoleon's garden in bloom.

Thinking of you Napoleon

The weather is dreadful at the moment but as soon as I can I will take some new ones. There are white cyclamen out at the moment, and white violas have seeded themselves all over. It looks a bit wild but pretty. The white climbing rose still has buds on it which may come out - it was gorgeous all summer.

Theres a picture that i'll never forget, and that was one or both of them draped over a foot stool?. They were so relaxed and calm after you took them in from the cold in that picture
