Rainbow Sei: Hello, Dear Friends and warm greetings from all of us at The Bridge. We miss you all and wish we could still purr in your ears.
From time to time, we like to go way back in time to #1's beginnings as a cat owner. She was living in Tokyo and had always wanted a cat. In September 1992, a 7-week old Abyssinian kitten came into her life, and that was the start of a life-long love of the breed. She named the kitten IKKYU, after an illustrious Buddhist monk who was famed for his wisdom and sense of humour. The two lived happily together for almost 15 years, in four countries and three continents. He was definitely a one-person cat who loved only her, but boy, did he love her! So, let's take a peak at their lives together, from 1992 to 2007.
