My Darling Minnie

Cuddles with Phill.

It was a very cold night.

13 years ago Craig brought a black cat called Minnie, home from the Vet. She belonged to Burt Westenra, who was my Parrot's vetinary man. Craig went to pick up Beaky, and brought home Minnie as well.. I could have killed him... the last thing I wanted was a cat when I had a bird.

However... her and I became great friends.. What a cool cat... so independant, so friendly, and

and bird friendly I might add.

She was the best cat ever!! She's kept me company until the wee hours of the mornings as I typed away on my computer. She sat patiently on the floor beside my chair - that was about 11.00 p.m and at 12.00 a.m. she'd jump on the desk and sit beside me patient as ever, and then at 1.00 a.m she'd walk all over my computer keyboard, to say.... time to go to sleep now Marian.. and yes she was right.

She'd follow me all around the garden and stay near, even when I was waterblasting.. such a cool friend..

I miss her soooooo much..

I won't have another cat to replace Minnie for now.. When I retire I'll probably weaken.... and that's a wee while away yet..

But to my darling pussy cat... I loved you so much.. and I know you loved me too. I have your silouette on every light switch in the house.. xoxo Rest in painfree peace.
