Lily - A Lifetime of Videos!

Normal blogging will resume soon, but as a final tribute to Lily I have included some of the many videos myself and Darrell took of her, during her ten years, living with us as a member of our family. She was a truly special cat, and will remain in our hearts forever.

Yesterday we were looking on the internet, trying to find out more about Lily's breed, the Oriental Foreign White; it was interesting to discover what made Lily the cat she was. Her breed is intelligent, kitten like for life, has many human traits and tends to adopt one member of the household as a life long companion. Lily had a special personality, almost talking to you at times. Her neediness was brought about by illness, suffering all her life, but also because of her breed; together, making her the ideal indoor, life long confrère. The close bond formed from an enduring relationship between cat and owner, make it so much harder to bear, when they leave this mortal coil.

I suggested to Darrell that we could maybe adopt another Foreign White one day; that does sound rather like trying to grasp onto what has been lost, but Lily and her pedigree left a lasting impact on our life which wont easily be extinguished. We will at least think about the concept of taking on another Lily, when we can! At the moment, Darrell is finding the loss harder than I; luckily we have our two foster kittens to keep us company at this time.

​I hope you enjoy the short videos!
