A Special Moment ........

October 6th, 5.30pm, mean't a lot to our family, for precisely at this moment last year, Kitty, my dear, you had transformed from a cat on earth to an angel in heaven...But in our minds, you remain close and dear to us now as you did in the past.

Life at home had changed drastically over the past year, but we had not questioned our decision to let you rest in peace. Although initially there were frequent moments when helpers and mummy tried to carry on life with watery eyes and Ruldpoh nose, grannies were very silent in deep thoughts.... it was after Auntie Kong talked and explained to you of our decision and your understanding/acceptance, that the dust slowly started to settle. The cremation ceremony on 10th October took us a step closer to reality and was sure a relief to see you sleeping so beautifully, naturally and deeply.....

During the adjustment period, Goldie was depressed and lonely, crying frequently at night, for which we were told that she was talking to you during your visits back home. Yes, the furnitures and fittings had changed a bit, you could no longer find your cosy bed  or your toys, for we have donated them out, partly to share your love with others and partly because all of us (including you Kitty) need to face reality and start a new life.  It was precisely for this reason, that I did not ask Auntie Kong to do any follow up communications with you. Its not that we don't care about you, but its just that we really want you to concentrate on your new life in rainbow bridge and don't let the past be a hindrance.

Kitty, I'm sure you would understand and agree with us that having a new cat at home would be the appropriate decision for all. During the waiting period from 10/13-2/14, we came across a number of lovely kittens. In late February this year, the family (including Goldie) finally chose to take on Betty, the Ragdoll kitten. Don't know whether it was a coincidence or not, both you and Betty are January babies. Moreover, Betty does have some resemblance with you -- brillant, elegant (sitting down with her hands crossed), quick learner and  lovely eyes....

Betty joined us on Good Friday (18/4) and she is now 9 months old. Since then, life slowly return to this house - more talkative, laughter, commands, complaints etc. No doubt, initially, there were tons of teething problems between Goldie and Betty, partly due to their age gap (9.5 years) and  breed characterisitcs, but their friendship and love seemed to slowly perform magic. Moreover, your acceptance of Goldie (also a 9.5 years age differential), also gave us confidence.

Although Goldie still prefers to be called Goldie 妹妹 as she thinks the title of 姊姊belongs to Kitty and she is unsure whether she can be a good leader. I must admit Goldie assumes her role as elder sister very proficiently.  She had great tolerance for this playful kitten, seldom fights back (at most pisses her), often let Betty takes the limelight.  One of the miraculous thing which Goldie taught Betty is to sit infront of the gate and don't go out. Nowadays, I prefer to call her Goldie 妹妹姊姊. Its a bit long winded, but I'm sure you will agree with me that this is a very special name for a very special girl...

As Goldie herself told Aunite Kong, "Kitty had taught me a lot and I have learn't a lot from her". Kitty, we are blessed to have you and are truly grateful for all your efforts in being part of our family and a pefect role model to Goldie, for without which, we are certain that our family would not be as harmonious and loving as it is today!

Just take good care of yourself, Kitty my dear. Exercise, eat and sleep well. Make lots of friends and remember to help those new comers to adjust to their new life in the wonderful land of peace, joy, love and hope! Enjoy life in rainbow bridge and you are always welcome to visit us whenver u feel like it.

I'm honored to remain your loving mother

Mt


P.S. I have a little secret for you, Kitty. Ever since you left us, I went to work each day listening to music. In there is the song " I Carry You In My Heart" for which I listened to 3 times each week. It gave me the feeling of your pressence within me, showering me with peace and determination to greet the day's challenges. Thank you, my dear for continuing to be part of me.

The CC magic -- seeing is believing.....

When we first came across those CC accessories, we were a bit skeptical... thinking whether its worth spending a fortune for them, as all combs and brushes would likely be the same. But when I recalled those latter days of Kitty's life, daily grooming was a torture to her. Because of arthritis, combing the lower part of her body was painful to her, making her moan and groan..... This for sure if I could, I would like to avoid .

Through reading and information sharing with other parents, and luckily, with the endless love and devotion of Milk and Jetpet, we were able to possess our own CCs for the children. Will it make any difference to their lives? Let's see....


 
 
Though we must admit, that we need to further improve on our grooming skills, we are already seeing early signs of improvement:
- Goldie was able to stay put longer to be groomed and she sometimes would purr as well..
- Betty, for as long as she doesn't see the comb/brush, we can comb her for a few times. Once she sees it, she would like to bite it instead.... so still a long long way to go....
 

Goldie + Betty: Milk and Jetpet EE... thanks a million for your love and dedication ... you make a difference to our lives ...
 
 
Since the above video shows you how mischievous Betty was, the following should also be interesting....

Goldie's 10 year old Birthday



To our surprise, both children behhaved well. Goldie used to be very frightened of lit candles and would run away. This time, she behaved just like how Kitty used to -- calm and co-operative. She is a good role model for Betty.

Some viewers might be surprised why the children wore scarf instead of head accessories. Likely they would be more at ease in this way than with something over their head. We were worried that Betty might be a bit fidgety, given that this was the first birthday party she had attended and that she hadn't seen any lit candle before.

Goldie, we are thankful to you for the past lovely 10 years. We look forward to another 10 years together, and may the Lord continue to guide, guard and protect you, giving you good health and lots of joy and happiness.


Bonus vidoes:

1) Time had not weakened her memories.....





2) Instead, she continues to grow smarter over time......haha

The double decker house

We decided to get a new double decker house for the children, with the hope that they can have a place to sleep and play in.  However, we have the following observations:
  1. They have to be taught how to use the stairs properly.
  2. Deeply regret that we had not thought of having this house earlier, for the detachable staircase could be of great use to Kitty during her latter days -- in releasing the strain on her back and hind legs when she moves up and down.
  
 
 


A few days later, Betty is able to cat walk...... she really learns fast




A bonus video.....



For the price of 2 cats, you get four, right? A bargain?? Hahaha.... images !!

Any improvement in their relationships?


It took us by surprise that Goldie went into the cage by herself, maybe its for the food??




Overall, we are happy with some minor improvement and will give them all the time they need to foster a closer tie.

Surprise! Surprise?.. After a long wait.... the Special Good Friday

Good Friday of 2014  is a very special day to us all, as we are blessed to have a new comer. She is named Betty (thanks Uncle JT for such a wonderful name).

In the morning, Goldie helped out with the preparation.



In the afternoon, Betty came..... and  Goldie.......



They extended their first greetings



During the next 2 days, we were wondering whether we have got - a cat, a monkey or a rabbit??

Grand Finale -- Charitable missions fully accomplished


Our charitable drive to raise as much money as we could to help the less fortunate children was completed, hopefully to the satisfaction of all. We entered a total of 3 competitions just by coincidence, as we happen to have the relevant photos on hand and that deadline for voting was fairly close to one another. So why not capitalize and maximize on the opportunities!!
 
By obtaining 3 first positions and 1 runner up, a total of HK$2,840 of cash and cash coupons were obtained. We think everyone who had LIKED us deserves the praise, for each and every LIKE is of equal significance and meaning to the end result. Below are the achievements

1)      Fantastic Baby  最讚比賽 hosted by You See Pet
      - Goldie came first and Kitty second

 

    





















We are sure that Kitty in heaven must be very happy to be able to complete her task. For this, we are truly grateful to the management of You See Pet, who after knowing of Kitty’s death and her charitable mission, agreed without any hesitation to honor her second prize.


Goldie attended the prize presentation ceremony in the Hong Kong Pet Accessories Show in the HK Convention and Exhibition Centre on 9th February 2014.


 
























To our surprise, Goldie performed a show on site  -- "The Table Dance Stripper?" (Pardon this blurred and shaky video, for it was made from a series of fast shot photos).
 



 
Below is a summary on how the cash coupons were allocated.
Ordered 14 cases of Fussie Cat canned food (24 cans /case)
of various flavors @$138 per case                         =HK$1,932

 Less: You See Pet Cash coupons                          =(HK$1,800)
