Bye Bye Baby

Description

As I mentioned earlier this morning, my beloved Thorn gave up her fight against her bowel cancer this morning before I went to work. It was horrible and even right now I haven't cried properly yet. 
But Thorny was very much a Buddhist in her manner and when I went to my morning job my eldest sister lit incense around her for a while and my mother read some of their prayers for her. This cat never hunted in her life - she only killed twice, one bat that flew into her face then she bit and a bird she thought was playing with her as a baby. She always brought in the slowworms to nuzzle and try to baby and was just so loving. 
She's buried in her favourite spot in the back garden near where we buried Oollie, a giant land snail Thorny was practically in love. 

Oh my little baby, I raised you from six weeks old, trained you more like a dog and you made the greatest years of my life all the better. I don't know how I'll get over your death... but I still bear the three nasty scars above my heart where I had to rescue you from a seagull! 

This image was taken over a year ago by my sister Iona, and here's one of my earliest ones of Thorn when she was about a year old - echosdusk.deviantart.com/art/T…

I hope she can get all them toms up there. She's a really beautiful cat. :)
