Rainbows Bridge Poem
Eseve came to us as a young stray, almost wild cat about 16 years ago. I guess he must have been about a year old perhaps a little younger? My Daughter found him and went to visit and feed him where she found him on waste land for about 2 weeks. He would just come out of hiding to her when ever she was there! Eventually she bought him home in a sorry half starved state! With time and a lot of patients he became one of the family and came to some sort of an understanding with my old tom cat Mogsey who was another stray that chose to live me some years before. The 2 were not friends but tolerated each other well enough, as long as each had their own space in the house!
As Mogsey grew older I thought he would not last much longer so I decided to get another cat to keep Eseve company when Mogsey went. A friend had kittens so I went to look and there were just 2 of the sweetest little girls left! I did not have the heart to split them up so I took both thinking again, that Mogsey might not last much longer! He was about 14-15 at the time, so 2 cats became 4, lol all in all Mogsey lived with me for 20 years! Just before the girls were old enough to be spayed Blaze got pregnant and had just 1 little girl kitten. We decided to keep her and my daughters boyfriend called her Ramsey as they were going to take her when they got their flat together. They soon decided to get another kitten to keep Ramsey company so along came Tabs, who is about a week younger than Ramsey, so that made 6 cats! For a few years, Tabs and Ramsey went to live with my Daughter and her boyfriend, However they ended up back here with me and have been with me ever since, that was all a long time ago now! Mogsey has been gone fore about 10 ,11 years now. I still miss him as he was my shadow, always at my side even, walking the kids to school in the mornings, or following me on my Avon round!
Now my other old boy Eseve has gone today! Its just us girls here and we don’t like it so much! I know I did the right thing this morning but I feel like **** and I don’t mind admitting that I hurt like hell and have been as miserable as sin since coming to the decision last night to say goodbye to my dear old cat! I'm missing my old man ESEVE already! The house is just not the same without him!! If I want to, I can now eat in peace without him begging for my leftovers, the girls will be allowed to eat without him muscling in on their food! They are all well fed but Eseve always wanted to show who was boss,
Blaze who has adored him since as a young kitten, she first laid eyes on him has already been looking around the house for him! Tabs has been keeping me company sitting on my computer desk as I write this, she is purring at me softly, bless her! The other 2 girls Smudge and Ramsey are just laying low, out of the way!
I stayed downstairs on my sofa last night, trying to sleep but could not till the early hours! Then all too soon it was time to wake up and prepare for that horrid lonely drive to the vet! Eseve had slept on me all night, Then when I woke up he moved for a while and snuggled down on the table with Blaze! I'm sure he knew and had been asking me to let him go
He went to Blaze as if to say is goodbyes to her! Bless him, he had so much wrong with him, from dental problems, possibly hyperactive thyroid, then today I was told possibly stomach cancer as well but he was a fighter till the end!
We got to the vet's too early this morning, I did not want to be rushed, or late, I wanted a nice slow drive to make it more comfortable for him! The roads were almost empty so we got to town with about 20 mins to spare. I parked the car and sat in there with my lovely on my lap for a last cuddle and good buy before going into the vets! When the vet left the room to get the injection, Eseve wanted to explore the room and have a nose at everything. He had a strong will to live over his last few months, he enjoyed one last summer I'm happy for that! Even with all his problems, he had quite good vigour until this last couple of months when he lost almost all of his body weight and was always hungry despite eating like a horse! All day I have been telling myself that this was the best for Eseve but it is not helping me to feel any better!
