Pet: BOYFRIEND
Age: 15 years & 3 months
Type: Tabby
Date: 01.09.2003 – 21.12.2018
Boyfriend chose to live with us about 11 years ago because he was madly in love with my female (desexed) Gabby – see dedication 16.12.2016
He came from a feral background sporting many scars from fighting but soon adopted a domestic life style once he knew he had been accepted into our household.
Boyfriend grew to be a large, loving & very loyal cat.
We christened him “Mr Meet & Greet” because the minute someone walked through our gate, he was there for some attention demanding pats of affection. He seemed to somehow sense their grief. I work from home (Pet Crematorium) so many clients that come through my gate are grieving the loss of their beloved pet. Frequently I’m told that Boyfriend’s greeting meant a lot. One time in particular stands out, a young girl with her Mum had brought their beloved little dog for cremation & the girl was inconsolable. Boyfriend laid across her feet & within minutes the little girl was on the floor with Boyfriend cuddling up to her, she was no longer crying.
Unfortunately, Boyfriends feral days caught up with him, in December 2018 he developed an infection that despite all the vet’s efforts he couldn’t fight. Sadly, on 21st December 2018 Boyfriend went to join Neko, Chintzee, Ichi, Gabby, Rafiki & Abby at “The Rainbow Bridge”, he will be sorely missed.
