16 years & 4 month ago, 5 sibling felines were born in our closet. Their mother was named Xena/Zeena.
She was a middrange longhaired standard farmersbreed of a cat,. The father was shorthaired farmerscat. The typical kind with an M /W on the forehead.
Her babies was not longhaired, nore short, but somewhere in between. They were fluffier than standard shorthaired cats, but still retained that well-knowned catface most know, but with their own personality to it. Noone is the same.
We named them Bam, Elis, Freddy, Rufus & Sussie.
Two were very dark brown with a pattern (Rufus & Elis) some would call them black.
One was Grey with dark stripes (Bam), and Sussie & Freddy had lighter grey colouring with blackstripes and white socks.
Yesterday.. Yesterday was the last day of the last sibling.
His condition had been deteriorating over the last 2 weeks and i was suspecting the worst, but i was hopeful he would come out of it.
But yet, i did know he was an old man.
Freddy died in his sleep an hour before midnight the 6th of september.
I never had a "pet" live this long before.
He was with me a third of my life.
He & his sibings, they were born here. They are family!
He never put out a claw! He was the sweetest being i ever knew! :(
Freddy at his prime, around 2014-15.
Now, we still have Fia. She's 13 years old, but still people think she's a kitten.
I wish it was all over though.
This grief ... is tearing me apart.
He was the last one. :( I understand his death more than any of the others though, as he was the elder one.
A respectable age of 16 and a half & I'm so glad he was a part of my life for so long.
But i'll never get a "pet" again!
When Fia is gone, i am done! :(
Freddy, i know you will sleep well. I tucked you in well at your final restingplace with pine tree branches as your final restingplace.
I'll miss you to the very last day i live.
