First, in June 2008, came a young sorrel Abyssinian cat called Sen-Chan and a slightly younger English Springer Spaniel called Tom. In October 2008, they were joined by Tama-Chan, a ruddy Abyssinian girl kitten. The three lived so happily together, playing and cuddling in the French countryside with their mistress, known as #1. But in early January 2009, tragedy struck and Sen-Chan went to the Bridge at not yet 18 months. For a while, it was just Tom and Tama-Chan and #1, remembering sweet and gentle Sen-Chan, and the one who came before him, the fierce and noble Ikkyu. But then, in April 2009, a little red furrball, Sei-Chan, joined the family! She was followed in October 2009 by Yuu-Chan, a playful but very mellow little sorrel boy. And then Tama-Chan had kittens and little Bibi, a ruddy male, stayed with us. Sadly, we lost our beloved Yuu-Chan in September 2010, but we soldier on and live and love in our little corner of rural France. And we now have a big little brother in Vidock, a Percheron stallion, a little little brother in Genji, a blue Abyssinian, and a big little sister in Violette, the Percheron filly.
Ikkyu was beautiful - in the last two pictures those eyes were so full of love for you #1. We can see Ikkyu was also a great help to you on the computer! We are sure he still watches over you from Rainbow Bridge and smiles down at you. Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
A special cat in your heart The proof we can never forget May be now he plays free in a beautiful word And if the friends of my friends become friends, so he just said welcome to my Joyeuse and makes her a lot of hugs waiting for the day we can meet them again
