When I first came to live at Poupounette Central, I was a little kitten and a bit of a scaredykit. There was a red boycat who was already living here and a huge woofie. I hid a lot.
Then the red boycat, Sen-Chan, showed me just how sweet he was and we became really good friends. He was so nice to me and protected me from everything!
I loved him with all my kitten heart, but one day, he went away and he never came back (Sen-Chan was felled by FeLV in early January 2009, at 18 months). I can't tell you how sad I was. And then, the big woofie, Tommy, reached out to me and took me under his paws! He followed me everywhere, snuggled me and played with me.
He gave me back confidence and trust. For the longest time, Tommy was the only one I would ever purr for. It is only after I had my own kittens that I learned to purr for #1 too, and for them of course!
So, Dear Friends, Tommy holds a very, very special place in my heart and always will. And I made sure that my Bibi realised this when he was still very small:
My orange cat, Riley, loves our Golden Retriever, Maddy Jean. He sits with her .. they are best friends.
ReplyDeleteTama-chan, that's a wonderful story. Tommy is such a sweetheart.
ReplyDeleteawwww - that is very sweet!!
ReplyDeleteMum can remember Sen-Chan a little but it was through an english cat blog that she heard the sad news about him. It was nice for us to see a picture of Sen-Chan with Tama-Chan and we can see now why Tommy means such a lot to Tama-Chan.

Tommy is the best woofie ever. Thank you for sharing your story, Tama-chama!
ReplyDeleteOh Tama, Tommy is very purr-able, we totally understand. He must be so snuggleable especially now with the colder weather. You've got a truly great friend in him!
ReplyDeleteYou Chans are so lucky to have that wonderful woofie Tommy there to snuggle with. He is one very special boy.

Aw!!! Such a sweet story. I love the photo of Sen-chan hugging you!
ReplyDeleteTommy is such a love and his cuddles must be lovely.. Hugs GJ xx
ReplyDeleteThat is just beautiful!!! I love that they snuggle with Tommy :-)
ReplyDeleteToday for the very first time Casper lay down with our woofie Rio, it was only for a moment (I ran for the camera but it was too late) because Rio gets too excited and I think it startles Casper a little.
What a wonderful tale of affection between creatures! AND YOUR KITTENPIC OS ADORABLE, TAMA.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet.
ReplyDeleteMom Paula is keeping her fingers crossed that Brulee and I will be close when she comes to live with us next month.

I never got the chance to meet Sen-Chan, but he clearly was an awesome boycat! It's too bad he had such a short life. :-(
ReplyDeleteI love your lovely story, but in some point Tommy look like Mommy's kitties...heh..heh..heh

How lucky to have so many sweet friends! The mom had a kitty who also had leukemia and when he passed, it was heart breaking to hear his special friend meowing for him, so we understand how you felt.
ReplyDeleteEveryone needs a soulmate.
ReplyDeleteTama-Chan...that is the sweetest story! We love seeing you snuggle with Tommy!!

We love that kitten picture of you! You are absolutely dorable. You are very lucky to have such a wonderful woofie brofur. Tommy is amazing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet, dear, story! We think Tommy is a softie! xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh Tama-Chan, what a beautiful story!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely and moving story. Mum has tears in her eyes (what is it with beans?). We have always wondered how Tommy happened to have such an affinity for kitties? Was he a scared little pup who was loved and comforted by a kitty? He is such an extraordinary woofie in so many ways. Mum always says he is an old soul, wise beyond his earthly years.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely story Tama-Chan. The photos with your special boy Tommy are priceless.
