Tatiana was our beautiful daughter up until 3 weeks ago. She was the absolute centre of our lives. Nicknames? She had them all: "Little Bunny Rabbit" for the way her little nose used to wiggle from side to side as she smelled the air. "Little Russian Balerina" for the way she used prance so delicately across the floor. "Little Mouse" for the way she used to run and play like a little grey field mouse. She was also known as "Our little bundle of joy" for the complete joy she brought to our lives every moment of every day. Whenever we mentioned any of these pet names she would sit up proudly with her paws every so slightly crossed in front of her and squint those lovely emerald eyes with contentment. She knew she was something very special to us - I am so glad for that. What do I miss the most? Having her sitting on my lap, gently stroking her exquisitely silky Russian Blue coat. Her furry, pretty little head pressing back onto my lips to steal a loving kiss. Feeling the warmth of her cuddly, outstretched body next to mine on a cold winters night. Oh, there are so many, many things I miss but I must accept that all I have are memories now. Sweet, special memories that I will truly cherish. I have never loved a cat as much as I loved her and I doubt I ever will.
We love you Tatiana - we'll see you at the Bridge
