Hallo (Furry) Friends!
Today it’s Remembrance Day
So it won’t be me in the spotlight,
but Granny’s baby Angel…
I hope Granny doesn’t shed to many tears,
while I’m telling you the story
of my uncle Angel.
It was May 17 1995
and at half past 5 PM
Granny got a phone call of her best friend,
who was telling her
that her cat just gave birth to a baby.
Granny was all excited and happy,
picked up her stuff and got on her bike
to see the little newborn.
When she arrived at her friends house
they got upstairs immediatly
and found another little newborn in the basket…
an Angel was born at 5.55 hours.
Here’s the mother with her three newborns,
the white with grey is the little Angel.
The mother’s eldest daugther, who was pregnant too,
washed and took care of her and the baby’s
the whole time. Isn’t that lovely… sigh…
It was all clear that this little creature
wanted to be with Granny
and in one way or another
this was a sign from above
that she had to take Angel home after almost 9 weeks,
nobody wanted him anyway.
You see, Angel came into her life,
while her other cat ran away just a few month before.
The same happened when Angel went to Furryland
and I just entered her life..
Remarkable how God sends us little Angels
to overcome grief and sorrow…
Granny that means that I’m an Angel too huh?!
Isn’t he the sweetest little creature in the world..
except of me of course.
Little climber…
Sleepyhead…
Here’s Angel with Granny’s other Angel Droppie…
they were always together..
Droppie opened the door for Angel..
They ate together…
Slept together…
Cute huh..?
Twofeet.. in fact my mom 😉 and Angel playing together..
Young Granny and Angel..
His own couch…
After conquering a tumor,
Angel got tooth problems
and had to go to the vet
to restore them,
but he couldn’t handle the anaesthesia…
He died after 2 weeks on a heart attack 😦
And this is Angel’s Place…
Come on my friends, I bring you there…
These flowers are for you Angel…
Beautiful place, isn’t it?
This is our Furryland..
here comes everyone together…
Do you see the dove walking in Angel’s Place?
And this is what it looks like when everything begins to grow.
I love this place,
it’s the most serene place in our garden.
I have to comfort Granny now…
well.. you know why.
ANGEL
17-5-1995 – 14-10-2008
For always in my heart.

Awww… Thank you for sharing such a lovely post… even though I’m sure Angel had a wonderful life with Granny I couldn’t help a small sigh in the end… I dread the day Captain will get too old 😦
May 31, 2013 @ 08:07:09
If only we could keep our beloved animals with us for as long as we live, that would make it all easier on us. Thank you Athina. Have a lovely weekend and here’s a pawkiss for you and one for Captain 🙂

It’s a fantastic idea to have a memorial-corner in the garden, that is very sweet. Good repose Angel… 🙂

Welcome
May 19, 2013 @ 23:49:14
So sad but such a beautiful tribute. Yes, God definitely sends us Angels to help. What a special cat and I know the pain of each loss never goes away but our lives would be so empty without having had the presence and keeping their memories.
May 21, 2013 @ 09:14:28
That’s so true Susan. Even if it’still hurts, I would do it all over again. Thank you 🙂
May 19, 2013 @ 20:19:50
So sweet and sad at the same time. Our little furry friends add sunshine to our lives and are sorely missed when it is their time to depart. Hope your day brought back wonderful remembrances.
BTW Thank you for visiting catnipoflife. Hope you will visit again 🙂

What a delightful story – how blessed Granny and Angel were to have each for all that time. Now she has you as her special angel, they definitely made sure you came to Granny just at the right time. How lovely is Angel’s resting place, I agree, it looks very serene. Love to you and Granny as you celebrate the life of Angel.
May 21, 2013 @ 09:46:44
Thank you Lee. Angel and Granny had a very special bond and to be honest, I was a little jealous, but she made me understand that I’m special too. Pawkiss 🙂

A lovely post, granny is right we have angels bring us kitties when we need them most.We had our foster kitty Dinnermintz three times with our mum with bouts of catflu that kept going around the iso ward of the shelter..mum an dad decided she was meant to stay so adopted her..even though they already had 5 kitties..Dinnermintz a ginger female was with us for only a few months when we had to say godbye to our 17 year old ginger female Squash..ginger girls are hard to find so the angels gave mum and dad Dinnermintz just when they knew they would be getting Squash.The hardest thing is to say goodbye but never having them would have been harder xxxx
May 21, 2013 @ 10:21:39
Thank you for sharing your story about Squash and Dinnermintz, Fozziemum. We’ll keep our dear ones in our hearts 🙂
May 21, 2013 @ 10:46:29
Yes we do…they are always close by i just know it 🙂
May 18, 2013 @ 00:14:34

Angel is a lovely cat! Very handsome. I know he brought your granny so many wonderful memories 🙂
May 21, 2013 @ 10:22:56
Yes Ann, he was very special to Granny 🙂
May 17, 2013 @ 22:03:32
What a sweet story and what a beautiful, peaceful place for remembrance. It’s a good thing you’re there for comfort…..
Love and licks,
Cupcake
May 21, 2013 @ 10:26:09
Yes, Cupcake, Angel’s place is awesome… sometimes there are birdies walking in the place, but don’t tell Granny about it 😉 Pawkiss 🙂
May 17, 2013 @ 20:37:15
So so lovely!!!!
May 21, 2013 @ 10:27:19
Thank you Trev. Pawkiss for you 🙂
May 17, 2013 @ 18:17:44
Beautiful tribute, I don’t think it’s possible to ever get over the loss of a pet.
May 21, 2013 @ 10:32:14
Thank you! I don’t think it either. Every pet was special and memories can be very painfull, even if they’re gone many years ago, it still feels like yesterday..sigh…
May 17, 2013 @ 17:38:16
That is wonderful. Fly free Angel till we all meet again
May 21, 2013 @ 10:33:26

May 21, 2013 @ 10:37:39
Yes, Sunshine. Granny and Angel had a very special bond, so special that she named her blog after him. Don’t worry I’ll behave myself.. like I always do 😉 Pawkissed to you 🙂
May 22, 2013 @ 16:30:41
Little Binky, you’re the sweetest. tell your Granny thanks for sharing and solving the blog name mystery. ☺
May 24, 2013 @ 16:01:05
