Sugar and Spice and all things nice, my puss' brothers that came to me at 8 weeks old....their mum a Siamese,Bluepoint,showcat who had crossed the boundaries. The evidence of this had to be whisked away asap! Sounds more like a Victorian romantic novel really...
They were such lovely, loving cuddly boys; Sugar being black and a real cuddle monster, Spice a beautiful tabby boy who at first appeared 'stand-offish' but loved his mum's cuddles.
We went thorough so much together, they adapted from being 'Flat cats' for 7 years to tackling the big scarey outdoors with it's own thrills and bonuses!
Sugar aka 'Shug' loved bringing home 'pressi's' for me and was very put out when I deposited then quickly outside again....Spice loved to sit in or on anywhere he could subathe and be warm, often coming in smelling of Hay.
They put up with the trials and tribulations of my daughters arrival, her rough treatment as a toddler and thoroughly enjoyed being 'dollies', well Shug did ,Spice seemed to always find a hiding place....
In turn I put up with the nagging when i returned from an outing,the stroppy behaviour Shug put on when things didnt go the way he wanted them to..
Gosh they were such characters,they were never very far from each other often curled up together or tumbling about play fighting. frequently they were both balanced on my lap, usually with Spice eventually lying on top of Shug!!
They were with me for nearly 18 years before that fateful day came and i had to make that kind but oh so hard decision...
My babies, it was so hard to let you go and I think of you so much still,'The Bruvvers'my beautiful,loving,sweet companions, steadfast,loyal, faithful and so much my life for so long ....but not long enough
Playing or curled up together,meeting new and old friends on the other side of that Rainbow...bless you

YOUR SPECIAL ANGEL
Death is beautiful...
At least it is for me.
But I see you crying for me and
I want to touch your face with my soft paw
And tell you that I am still with you.
You just can't see me now;
Or feel my touch
Or hear my purr.
I can run and jump and play
just like I did as a kitten
Before my body was in pain
Hurting from the ravages of time.
How good it feels to be in this new world
Where there is no disease, no cruelty, no hurt.
But my heart aches for you.
I long to tell you that I am free;
I long for your caress.
One day we will be together again
United for all eternity.
Until then, talk to me with your soul
I will always be with you
As your own special angel.
I'm Still Here
Please don't mourn for me
I'm still here, though you don't see.
I'm right by your side each night and day
and within your heart I long to stay.
My body is gone but I'm always near.
I'm everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart
as long as you keep me alive in your heart.
I'll never wander out of your sight-
I'm the brightest star on a summer night.
I'll never be beyond your reach-
I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.
I'm the colourful leaves when fall comes around
and the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond,
The clear cool water in a quiet pond.
I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring,
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
and you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.
When you start thinking there's no one to love you,
you can talk to me through the Lord above you.
I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
and you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.
I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
and the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face.
Just look for me, I'm everyplace!

Beyond the Rainbow
As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,
I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.
I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble-free
Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.
I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side
Were meadows rich and beautiful -- lush and green and wide!
And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be!
My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new
And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.
I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright
That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright Glow pierced the night.
'Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold
And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold.
For although we may not be together in the way we used to be,
We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.
So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart
If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.

~ Lend Me A Kitten ~
I will lend to you for a while
a kitten, God said.
For you to love while she lives,
and mourn when she's dead.
Maybe for twelve or fourteen years,
or maybe two or three
But will you, 'till I call her back,
take care of her for me?
She'll bring her charms to gladden you
and should her stay be brief,
you'll always have her memories
as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise she will stay,
since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught below
I want this kitten to learn.
I've looked the whole world over
in search of teachers true,
And from the folk that crowds life's land
I have chosen you.
Now will you give her all your love,
nor think the labor vain?
Nor hate me when I come to take
my kitten home again?
And my heart replied,
"My Lord, Thy Will Be Done."
For all the joys this kitten brings,
the risk of grief I'll run.
I'll shelter her with tenderness,
I'll love her while I may
And for the happiness that I've known,
forever grateful stay.
But should you call her back
much sooner than I planned,
I'll brave the bitter grief that comes,
and try to understand.
If by my love I've managed
your wishes to achieve,
in memory of her sweet sweet love,
please help me while I grieve.
When my cherished kitten
departs this world of strife,
Please send yet another needing soul
for me to love all her life.
