Arrival Story: I had always had dogs from the age of 10, but when I met my boyfriend Martyn I soon realised that owning a dog was out of the question as he did not like them. I very soon fell in love with his parents cats and asked when we got our own place could I have a cat. We rented a house for 2 1/2 years where we couldn't have pets. We finally bought our own house in September 2005. It was my 31st birthday in February and I asked for a cat for my present and he agreed that I could. I search for weeks looking for the right kitten, but it was out of kitten season and not many around. Then 3 days before my birthday I found an advert saying kittens for sale and a blurred picture of a kitten. There and then I knew she was the one, i emailed the seller and got a reply back saying they were only 3 weeks old but he was taking deposits. I literally begged Martyn to take me to Leeds for a look. That night we went to this house, in a very rough area, the house had bars at the door and windows. We knocked on the door, this small man answered who could hardly speak english, but he showed us the kittens and there she was. We pointed out which kitten we wanted and left a deposit. 4 weeks later he sent me an email saying she was ready, we felt it was too early but went and collected her the next day. As soon as I had hold of her it was pure love, she curled into my body, she was scared and crying and I just wanted to tell her everything was ok. She cried all the way home and we tried so hard to comfort her. I took the next week off work so that she settled in with us, I was so protective of her and did not want her to be lonely. We named her Pebbles, and she slowly settled in and soon came the boss of our household. Pebbles opened up a whole new world from owning a cat, I realised that they were just as loving as dogs, she became my baby and was adored very much. We started letting her out as we live on a quiet road, but only when we were at home. When you called her name in the garden she used to come running like a little dog. She recked my new settee and climbed my new curtains but we never stopped loving her for one moment.
Bio: Then in August bank holiday, we called Pebbles but she never came. We just thought that she was sunbathing as it was a lovely day. A couple of hours later she had still not come home and I knew that something was wrong. We went up our street asking everyone to check their garages and shed, and tried a couple of houses on the next street. That night we left the door open but my baby did not come home, the next day we found a lovely man who informed us that a cat had been hit by a car and killed the previous day. He described my baby, there and then I broke down, I could not speak or function in any form. Someone had moved her body but we never found out where. Martyn helped me back to the car, where he broke down in tears, she was everything to us and we had lost our baby at 18 months old. That day my heart curled up and died. It took us days just to function, going to work, getting up, the daily chores. The house was empty, my heart too. Pebbles learnt me many things, she will always have a special place in my heart as she was my first furby. Still everyday we miss her, but thank you Pebbles to opening up my world to cats, I now work at a cattery in my spare time around my full time job, i have met some amazing people on catster who have the same interest. Also because of you I adopted Rhea and now have Tilly who we took on in November 2008. Thank you Mummy's sweetpea, love you loads, still miss u every day Mummy xxx

I sit here whilst Tilly is laid on my knee snoozing away and wonder how we have got here, since we lost you two years ago today.
In 3 1/2 years we have lost two fantastic little cats and now have Tilly.
I remember the first time I held you Pebbles just 7 weeks old and how I felt pure love, our first pet together, my first furby. You taught us so much and gave us so much joy, love and you made us a family, until you was taken away from us at just 18 months old, two years ago today.
Then 11 months later we lost Rhea is the same circumstances and have many times asked myself what have we done to deserve this. We so loved you and I do not know how many times I asked myself if only, then we would still have you here with us.
You would be 3 1/2 now the same age as Tilly, I wonder what you would be like, older and more mature. I thought we would grow old together and that what hurts the most you was so young, so much more life to see, enjoy and so much more love to give.
We miss u so much it still hurts, Daddy does not speak about you and Rhea much as the pain hurts. I often watch the videos and look at picture of you, sometimes it is just too painful. They say time helps to heal but how long is time?
Through you and Rhea I have met some fantastic people, and now have Tilly who we adopted last November.
I just want to tell you Sweatpea, how much you are still missed, you left us heartbroken the day we found out you had been killed and nothing has filled that gap that was left by you. Rhea left a big gap and Tilly helps our heart slowly repair, but nothing will every replace you.
Have a lovely time at RB Sweetpea until that day I come to collect you and Rhea, love you always your Mummy xxx
Hi everyone, I would have been living at my mummy house for 3 years today if I had not crossed to Rainbow Bridge so soon. I wonder what we would have done together today if I had been there with you?
I would have seen a lot of changes at my house, not like it was when I moved in, every room has been changed and it is all nearly finished. Remember when you thought that I had managed to get under the floor boards in the bathroom, you and daddy was on your hands and knees calling me and all the time I was curled up under your bed covers :o). It took you ages but finally you changed the curtains that had pulled with my little claws, how many times did you have to detach me from the top of the curtain rail, get me down and I would run straight back up. Rhea tell me that if you left the loft ladder down she would climb straight into the loft and on many occasions she was shut in the loft before you noticed she was missing :o)
I hear Daddy is going to build himself another computer, remember when I helped him build the last one. He kept cursing me as every time he turned round I was in the computer case and he kept moaning about cat hairs. Rhea tells me that she used to hang off the back of the computer and used to get done too, or try and sit on the computer monitor. Daddy has never been impressed with us when we used to mess with his computer, or round the back of his tv.
It was fun living with you mummy, it is also fun living at Rainbow Bridge, we do loads of good things and have made many friends. Rhea says hi and loves you loads. Give Tilly loads of love and kissed from us both, love you, Mufty and Roo xxxxx
Mummy, Rainbow Bridge is everything you can imagine it to be. I am being a good cat and looking after Rhea like you asked me to, you did not mention though how much of a handful she is.
She talks all the time, and even in her sleep. I can understand why you adopted Rhea after me, she is different in many ways but she is so loving and loves the attention.
Rhea sends her love too, she has settled in nicely, though we do have some bad days where she misses you terribly and I have to remind her that one day we will meet again for eternity.
Rhea and I have made some great friends, and I see you are also making friend too.
Popped in to see you today at the cattery and hear Timmi is coming in next week, keep an open mind and see what happens. Ever furby needs a loving house mummy.
I have seen your new addition to the family ..... Anna the house bunny, not a choice I would have thought you would get, but I know you felt sorry for her that her owner did not want her and you always had a big heart. She seems to have settled in nicely, but just to let you know she has damaged you settee more that Rhea and I :o)
Take care mummy, say hi to Daddy, I know he does not come on this site, but he loved us very much too, and even though he does not say anything remember he misses us too.
