Arrival Story:
My ex boyfriends boss had found homes for all but the smallest little ginger runt of the litter - Bod laid on his back in the palm of my hand and fell asleep with his little paws flopping all over - I managed to persuade my boyfriend that we really needed another cat!

Bio:
Bod has moved house 17 times with me, and has happily settled now that we are no longer renting. He gets on well with my husband's two sons, and has developed a reputation as a big softie with the local kids, who all walk past our house just to stroke him (he is a big tart!). He lost one of his lives when he dived out of a first floor window - he lost his balance and didn't realise it was open - he landed half on me and half on the rotary washing line and lost a tooth when his chin hit the ground (ouch!).

August 9th 2004 More than 7 years!

The final snooze

At 3pm yesterday 8th April 2010 I took Boddington to the vet for the last time. He had suddenly lost his appetite as a final symptom of renal failure and was on a few injections to try & regain it over the previous few days.

He had picked up a little, just enough to eat pureed food, but he wanted to sleep and could only doze because of the discomfort he was in. After he was finding it hard to visit the litter tray, but very offended if anyone helped him, I decided it was about time.

He has always been independent and although loving attention, would eschew 'help' unless asked for. His last independent action was to stagger from the bathroom where he has been on his mat for three days, to jump onto my bed at 4 am and cuddle up to me.

My child has gone. My muse, my contentment, my source of delight and calm reassurance, my teacher of relaxation, my entertainer, my soul mate, the one being who totally tuned in to all my moods and needs, and I to his.

Bless you Bods - you were the best of them, darling. We will never forget you or the joy you brought us. Goodbye my lovecat.

 

A New Year - Oh Joy!

A New Year and my humans have decided to clear out the fridge of all the bits and pieces we have all been gorging on over Christmas. Splendid!

Oh, hello - is that some oak smoked ham? For me [yells] I said FOR ME!

Ok, just so long as we know who's in charge. Well, I'll eat some of it, then I 'll run upstairs to the bathroom and persuade you people to run the tap so I can have a good long drink.

The I plan to have a fabulous snooze in the dirty linen cupboard {ahem} I mean, my boudoir, before a stroll over the warm bonnets of a few freshly parked cars to await the adulation of my public.

What do you mean the little folks are on their school holidays! Ruin my day why don't you! Well it appears that an extended snooze is in order!

So now I shall leave my humans plotting ways to get my image onto this website www.inifinitecat.com
- personally I think that too many have already joined the bandwagon, but if my public insist, then surely appearing here is the least I can do! Toodle pip!
