POPPY

Poppy was an adorable cat and loved by everyone including her brothers and sisters. What a character, I remember her first day, the older cats hissed and snarled, a strange cat on their territory but Poppy as tiny as she was just stood looking as if to say WHAT, I'm here and you WILL like me....... and they did. The silly names she had, The Popster and Popsputia and she has tons of cattitude, nothing bothered her. She arrived looking like the ugly duckling but soon bloomed into the beautiful swan. Sadly she was badly injured, fought so hard to live but the damage sustained to three of her legs would not heal. Poppy was put to sleep. The horrible thing is that I know that a neighbour crushed her with their car but rather than admit it they just left her for dead outside my next door neighbours. I miss her so much and often talk to the casket which holds her ashes. I feel so guilty having made the decision to let her go, it broke my heart. If I searched the world I could never ever find another Poppy, she was definitely a one off. My Mam died nine days after losing Poppy and my only comfort is that they are both together and both no longer suffering. Love and miss you both, never to be forgotten. xxx

We chose you from all your sisters because you fell asleep on my lap, you were only a few weeks old. We had some great times with you and your older sister, Molly. Glad at least you are together again chasing one another!! You ended your live the same way you came into ours - you went to sleep on my lap. Look out for Chester Pops, he is on his way to the rainbow bridge to be with you again. x

I lost my beloved Poppy a few months before her 20th birthday. I became her guardian when she was 6 weeks old, and we were very bonded. She was the most beautiful cat, everybody said so, and she was always happy to be admired. She was generally a quiet, gentle girl, a little shy with strangers. Her wide green eyes were full of wisdom, and she won over everyone who saw her. As a sensitive soul, she was concerned if I or my partner or indeed anyone was upset and would try to comfort them. She was small in stature, though her light grey and white fur was so luxuriant that she appeared bigger. Her tail was especially beautiful, it was like a plume of light grey with dark grey stripes. Her little face was framed in white, like a lion’s mane, and to kiss the top of her smooth grey head meant breathing in her gorgeous Poppy scent. She kept her beauty throughout her life, and although in the last few months or so when chronic kidney failure meant she was no longer able to groom herself and her fur grew thin and lifeless, she looked like a shadow of her former self, but she was still beautiful to me and to my partner Rachel. She has always been a very talkative cat and she would come up to bed and climb up on our chests and talk away to us, her little ‘mow’ was very distinctive and every time we replied in a similar way she would answer – she could keep this conversation up for a long time! One night I came home and her back legs had given way so she could no longer walk. I promised her she would not have to suffer for much longer, and assured her she could go whenever she was ready, that I would not leave her side now. She passed quietly in my arms just before our vet arrived the following afternoon. I missed her terribly, and I wanted to know she is ok wherever she is now. I could not believe that such a beautiful spirit could just be extinguished. Three weeks after she passed an extraordinary thing happened at 2.30am. I heard my partner’s voice calling my name – “Kat, Kat” and I realised she was still asleep so couldn’t have called. I woke up, or so I thought, and saw a pale red glow on my pillow from the digital display on the clock on the bedside table. I knew something was going to happen, and then I felt a thump at the end of the bed by my feet. I knew it was Poppy. She ran up my legs and along the length of my body just like she used to do, and she felt quick and heavy like when she was younger, not slow and old as in latter years. She settled on the pillow by my head and sat there looking at me. I communicated to her without speaking, “Poppy, you’ve come back!” She didn’t respond, and I wondered if I could touch her or if she would just disappear if I tried. I put out my hand (though I don’t think I actually physically moved as this was probably happening in another dimension) and I touched her – she was solid and real and I could stroke her! She let me stroke her chest too and examine the fur there which I was amazed to find was now gleaming white, soft, thick and luxurious as it had been when she was younger. I leaned over to kiss the top of her head and breathed in her familiar Poppy smell. She allowed me to do this but she didn’t respond much and seemed to need to maintain an emotional distance, as if she was telling me that she had just come to tell me she was ok but she couldn’t stay. Then she disappeared and I opened my eyes – at that point I realised that I had thought my eyes were open but they hadn’t been, I had been seeing all of this as if through my eyelids. I was suddenly wide awake and felt tears of joy and peace, because I knew she was happy and contented where she was now but was still able to see me and communicate with me if she wanted to. I lay awake for 2 hours not quite able to believe this had happened, but knowing it had, and I have never before had an experience like it. In the morning I was left with certainty that I had not imagined this, that I had really seen and touched Poppy in the night and she had seen me too. This has helped me so much and I am hoping our story may help others too.

So pleased you found your way to us, perhaps the Angels guided you. You enhanced our life so very much with your love and affection and endearing little ways and we will never come to terms with your little life being cut short so suddenly by a careless driver. Part of our hearts were torn out that day, knowing we would never be able to hold and hug you again. We love and miss you so very much my precious baby. XXX

RIP my little angel, it seems like only yesterday you were running around after my bike and pouncing on toys as a kitten. I can still feel you sitting in my lap and purring, looking up at me with big emerald eyes, trying to comfort me when I'm crying. I wish I could have had more time with you, I wish that tumour could have been removed, I wish you were still here. But the vet was kind and quick, and you're resting now, peacefully sleeping in the warmth of the sun. I hope to see you again one day, my precious little princess xxx

What to say about my beautiful boy? We rescued him from the RSPCA in 1996 and he was full of fun, mischief and life, and latterly found some fame through my blog where he made regular appearances. He's been our friend for all these years and it was only in the last 18 months that he started to show his age with arthritis (which he had acupuncture for) and CRF. It was this that finally took him from us today - I'm just glad he wasn't ill for long, only a month or so and that we had so many years of his wonderful companionship.
