Da Beebs here. I wanted to let you know that at 11:30AM French time today, I have an appointment. It is a very important appointment, with Tommy, with Yuu-Chan and with Sei-Chan. I BIBI THE BRAVE have fought like no other but my body was simply too damaged and, in the end, #1 had to come to grips with the reality of losing me. It has not even been 5 months since Tommy left. I hate to put such a heavy burden on #1's heart. I did want to say that it's been great knowing you all and sharing my adventures with you. I am looking forward to being healthy and strong again, and to seeing so many old friends (starting with Cory who beat me all those years ago in the cute kitten contest!) , in addition to my beloved family members. Sayonara, everyone! Oh, and see you on the Saturday blog posts so you don't forget about me!
#1 here. Bibi is the only one of my cats that I have raised from birth, and we have had a very special relationship. Since his Mama Tama no longer wanted to have anything to do with him after he was weaned, I became his surrogate mother. He is so sweet but also quite fierce, and he gave me some considerable frights with his Houbibi episodes. I will do a (probably very long) post in his honour within a few days, and then I will probably blog only intermittently until I can get my head and heart back together again.
Thank you one and all for your kindness and unfailing support during his illness. I appreciated every kind word, every purr and crossed paw. We fought the good fight but you can't win them all.
Thank you, EBISU, aka Bibi-Chan, Da Beebs and Beebstaroo for nine wonderful years. There will never be another you.
our tears are running like crazy... and we will think about you... and we will keep you in our hearts and in our memory furever and ever ... hugs to you all... big hugs...
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry and I am crying for you and for Da Beebs. It is such a hard decision to have to make, but the kindest for your boy. I will hold you in my thoughts and bow my head in his honour at 10.30 our time. He is such a handsome boy and has given you so many happy memories. He will be sadly missed.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry you have to make this decision, the hardest any catmom can make. We will miss Da Beebs and our hearts break with yours. Hugs and purrs from all of us.
ReplyDeleteSending my love to all of you.
