Arrival Story: We lost our first cat Pebbles in a RTA when she was only 18 months old. Pebbles was the first cat I had owned and my love of cats grew each day we had her. The house was so empty and my heart was empty. After a lot of thinking we decided to look for another cat for our family. This time we went to the RSPCA at Bawtry just for a look. There in a cubicle with two other kittens was Rhea, she was 16 weeks old and my heart jumped. We were given a quick hold and we both knew instantly that she was the one. I ran to back to the desk to adopt her just in case someone got there first. The next day we took my parents as Rhea had to stop in for another week whilst she had all her injections, there she was with my name against her name, I felt so happy something that I had not felt since losing Pebbles. We found out that Rhea had been dumped at the centre in a box the week before, we couldn't wait to get her home and one week seemed to last forever. We picked her up on October 5th at 12pm 2007, she instantly accepted us and became one of the family. She was so hungry for love and asked you for attention all the time. Rhea was so different from Pebbles, she was more independant, more vocal and so much more naughtier. She was amazing and she was my sole mate as a pet could be. I so loved Pebbles but with Rhea there was such a special bond, she slept near me at night, she used to throat wobble about everything. We used to go for sleep overs at other people houses and trips in the car, as everyone who met her fell in love too. It turned out that I was allergic to Rhea and soon became ill with Asthma, after the Doctors, they advised me to give her up, but this was never an option, I learnt how to control my asthma with an inhaler and Rhea still slept on our bed and spend many hours with us. She was a very nosey cat, but we never thought for one moment that this would lead to her loss. Her best party trick was getting up the loft ladders quicker than you, and then spending the next hour trying to bribe her out of the loft. Rhea was such an amazing little cat, she was my world.
Bio: Then on the 5th July we got the phone call every cat owner dreads, Rhea too had been hit by a car and killed, just round the corner from our house. A neighbour had bought her back into our street and phoned our number of her collar tag. We walked just three houses down, but the walk seem to take for ages to collected her. There he had wrapped her in a little blanket, I could not talk without being so distressed, Martyn picked her up and we brought her back home. We wrapped her up in her favourite blanket, hugged and kissed her and told her how much we loved her, then finally laid her to rest in our back garden. We bought a beautiful plant for her and it is growing beautifully just like my little Roo.
We had lost two fantastic cats in one year, and I just keep asking myself what have we done to deserve this. I put so much love into these beautiful creatures and I am left heartbroken at there loss.
Rhea was my sole mate and losing her has left me in pieces. Her daddy has been hit hard, but he tries to keep tough to help me, but it hurts more as I know his pain too. We only had Rhea for 9 months but each day of them 9 months was amazing, she bought love, laughter and naughtiness into our lives everyday. The house is so empty without her, no constant throat wabbling (Rhea talking) to be heard and no one to lay in my arms on a night.
Rhea you was one amazing little cat, and I have been blessed with knowing you and Pebbles, thank you x

The Last Forum I Posted In: I was runover this morning
In around one hours time, one year ago, our lives where blow apart, we got a phone call from a neighbour to tell us our beautiful little girl Rhea had been hit by a car and killed. It was history repeating itself again as 11 months before we lost our first furby Pebbles the same way.
We never thought it would happen to us again with Pebbles we thought we had been unlucky, but what had we done to deserve this again at the loss of two beautiful little cats. We were heart broken when we lost Pebbles at just 18 months old, but to lose Rhea at just one year old no words could describe how it felt.
For 9 amazing months we had the pleasure of being parents to Rhea, and she made every moment a pure pleasure. Losing Rhea tore my heart apart as I never thought I could love an animal this much. She was everything to me, from the moment we brought her home from the RSPCA.
I can not believe that your first anniversary has come around so soon, and not a single day goes by without missing u so much. Even now the hurt is still there and my heart aches for you.
Roo I would have given everything just to have saved you, but I know it wasn't meant to be. Remember you will always have a place deep within my heart for the rest of my life. This has been the hardest thing to write in my whole life as no words can tell people how much you are missed or what you meant to us.
To my beautiful Baby Roo, I am writing this today as I will not be able to write this tomorrow. I have been dreading this day for the last few weeks knowing that you are not here with me.
You would have been 2 tomorrow and I wonder what fun we would have had in the last year. It is nearly 1 year since we lost you and not a single day do we not remember you and how much we miss you. *tears* Roo we miss you just as much as the day we lost you, you was my world and how I wish I could have turned back the time., even if it was to have one more kiss from you.
You would have been a big girl now, and I wonder how much you would have changed. I bet you would have been more noiser and just as naughty :o)
Happy Birthday my little girl, hope you celebrate it with Pebbles and have a lovely day at Rainbow Bridge, we just wish you was here celebrating it with us instead.
