Willow (also known as little lady) was such a pretty little cat, she meant so much to us, she didnt
have the best start in life, she was left in a house at about 4 weeks old with the rest of her
littermates, the previous tenants just moved out and left her there.
When we bought her home we were worried how Jet our whippet would react to her as she was just a
tiny ball of white fluff, we needn't have worried because it was love at first sight and he mothered
her and protected her and howled when she was hurt.
Willow was a little cat with a big voice, she called very loudly to us when we passed her by. she
loved to be stroked especially around her face. When she wanted feeding she called out in the
loudest voice you have ever heard from a cat, and feeding times are so quiet now without her.
Willow was always running off with things, she once took a £20 from the table and she often came
home with the plant label from a neighbours garden, she was so funny she had us in stitches so we
could never be angry with her. We spent lots of money on nice cat toys for willow but all she wanted
was cardboard boxes where she would hide and wait for someone to walk past and she would jump out
and get them.
Sadly we lost her best friend Jet in 2004 and she never really recovered from the grief she missed
him so much. Now they are reunited again at the rainbow bridge and she longer feel stressed. We take
comfort in the fact that she is now with her beloved Jet.
please take the time to look at some of her photos.
We miss you so much willow, I wish that you werent taken from us so young but accidents happen and
there was nothing we could do.
Chasing butterflies by Jennifer
Iam sorry that i couldn't stay
please dont be sad for me
I am up here chasing butterflies
and climbing every tree
I am checking out the rainbows
and every blade of grass
I am looking at the dew drops
that settle there like glass
I do know that you loved me
and that i so loved you
I had to cross the rainbow bridge
where Jet was waiting too
Don't think of me in sorrow
Just think that I am free
and just remember that I know
you tried you best for me
A PET'S POEM
A companion,a pal
A very best friend.
Someone to trust,
To love 'til the end.
Someone to trust,
When feeling blue.
Always a smile,
To always greet you.
Always a smile,
To dry up your tears.
A person to be there,
To quiet your fears.
A person to be there,
When lonely or sad.
Loving regardless,
If hating or mad.
Loving regardless,
If caring or cruel.
No matter what,
Genius or fool.
No matter what,
They stand by you.
Who is this person,
Have you a clue?
Who is this person?
I'll tell you who.
This is your pet,
That loves through 'n through.

Precious Love
The agony is so great...
and yet I will stand it.
Had I not loved so very much...
I would not hurt so much.
But God knows I would not want to diminish
that precious love...
By one fraction of an ounce.
I will hurt...
And I will be grateful for that hurt
For it bears witness to the depth of my love.
And for that I will be eternally grateful.

A kitten with a length of string
Is such a pretty, playful thing.
A kitten with a leaf to chase
Exhibits beauty, form and grace.
But I love kittens curled up, wise,
With ancient mystery in their eyes
Your tears fall
Your heart aches
Your baby has gone away
Gone to heaven to play
The memories remain
Of the happy days
A meow and a purr
As you feel the soft fur
You gave your love
No more could you do
A short life of joy
For your baby and you
Off to heaven
your angel has gone
but within your heart
the love will live on
Standing in sorrow
and in your mind's eye
look into heaven
and please do not cry
For there in the Rainbow garden
Stands God and in his arms
An angel softly purring
It's your baby, safe from harm

Simply Willow by S.J.Warwick
A tiny ball of fluff flying without a care,
Like a snowball through the air,
Rolling then tumbling around on the floor,
Coming to rest agaist the door,
Up the curtains then over the sill,
A very small thing with a very strong will,
A matter of fact! a very wise cat,
There's not a lot to say about that,
With a glint in her eye, she's passes you by,
It always made you wounder why,
What will she do, where will she go!
Yep only Willow will know.
Shooting Star
I saw a shooting star last nigth, and though of you,
if only wishes came true, because i would turn back time, to that one moment when that accident happened,
if only i could, my little lady you would be home with us! where you belong. xxx
For willow, xxx.
~ Lend Me A Kitten ~
I will lend to you for a while
a kitten, God said.
For you to love while she lives,
and mourn when she's dead.
Maybe for twelve or fourteen years,
or maybe two or three
But will you, 'till I call her back,
take care of her for me?
She'll bring her charms to gladden you
and should her stay be brief,
you'll always have her memories
as solace for your grief.
I cannot promise she will stay,
since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught below
I want this kitten to learn.
I've looked the whole world over
in search of teachers true,
And from the folk that crowds life's land
I have chosen you.
Now will you give her all your love,
nor think the labor vain?
Nor hate me when I come to take
my kitten home again?
And my heart replied,
"My Lord, Thy Will Be Done."
For all the joys this kitten brings,
the risk of grief I'll run.
I'll shelter her with tenderness,
I'll love her while I may
And for the happiness that I've known,
forever grateful stay.
But should you call her back
much sooner than I planned,
I'll brave the bitter grief that comes,
and try to understand.
If by my love I've managed
your wishes to achieve,
in memory of her sweet sweet love,
please help me while I grieve.
When my cherished kitten
departs this world of strife,
Please send yet another needing soul
for me to love all her life.

Willow we went shopping yesterday to buy some toys for harleys, flints and sukis stockings. We got lots of catnip treats and fishing rod toys for them, we got suki some catnip bands to play with too. Suki got a nice new pink collar and she looks so pretty in it, sandie saw a collar and thought you would have looked so pretty in it, If only you were still here to try it on,I miss buying you little toys as you loved your sparkly balls, you always had some in your stocking. I think that suki is missing you too, as you sometimes pretended to hate each other but we always found you both curled up asleep together.
Dove in a cupboard!
You use to have a litter box in a cupboard with a cat flap, and one day when my sons had time of work and came to vist, i had open the cupboard to sort it out, but when i open it i looked in then shut it quick, i looked at my son Ash as he was looking at me oddly, asking what's wrong, puzzled all i could say was that there was a dove in the cupboard!,
Ash not quite believing what i had told him! open the cupboard and looked in , sure enough there stood looking back at him was this confused looking Collard dove unscratched and alive ,it seems that willow had got herself a takeaway, but as i had called her for tea, she had not wanted to leave her takeaway so she had put it in the cupboard aive, for a fresh snack later on, hence later on when she went to the cupboard it was bare, we had released it.
