To Bijoux, best cat in Romania, maybe the world

So this isn't him. It's a her. It's a her that just showed up one week before Bijoux died. Highly suspicious, but this girl is pretty dumb, too dumb for espionage.

Her name is Fiona.

She tries to be cute by smelling flowers and rubbing herself on everything.


She's tiny though, and has a short and stumpy tail.
She's not Bijoux.
He had a long and cute tail...that til even after 1 year, he was still chasing, but wasn't ever able to catch it.

How did it happen? Car accident, and him frolicking in dried leave of Fall, and him dashing across the street in front of a car. I heard that Cosmina saw it happen, and Tina came to rescue him, but he didn't make it more than 5 minutes after the accident. He was born just as I came to my new home, and I eventually fell in love with him too. He had a great heart, and really the best home available to any cat. We miss him dearly.

He caught strange and scary large insects and mice! and rats!

He didnt' eat live chicks or chickens and he had several favorite sleeping spots, and 1/2 of them were in my yard.

Most evenings he would wait on my window sill either for food, or sometimes just for a pet through the screen and he would purr and keep me company while I cooked.

He was fully supportive of my Fall compost piling.

How loving is He! When I asked him "to kiss me", he would nudge me with his nose, and when I asked to "let me kiss him," he would dip his forehead down for me. =D

He was everyone's friend, except the other guy cats'.

You were special to us kitten, and we know you're in kitty heaven.

We'll try our best to move on and keep you in our thoughts.
I have a new girl kitten who's scared of me. We'll see if she's still around tomorrow morning because tonight she escaped the shed, but she was gnawing on the chicken head I had cut off last night.
Tina is frantically searching for a boy kitten who is similar to Bijoux because she was to fill the void.
Also we have lots of left over meat and dairy stuff, and the one 10 year old cat can't eat all the left overs alone. He is round and he hurts, but he keeps trying to eat it all himself. He needs a young stomach to help.

Pictures to come. Animals. They're everywhere here.

He was awesome. Nemo is pretty awesome too. HE "IS" the perfect cat. Bijoux was fat and lazy and Nemo is the star soccer player in Europe.

Bijoux did actually have scary giant paws. Kiki...is a princess. Nemo's caught like 9 mice by now and Kiki waits for him to serve it to her and she swats him when he doesn't share. He's too young to care about pleasing her.
She's caught 0 mice and it doesn't look like she'll ever do it. It's beneath her, oh and she doesn't eat my left overs and she doesn't like raw fish or raw chicken.

I have the broken-est cat...or she's just an orphaned princess cat from the kingdom of cats.
She is an excellent alarm clock though.
Every morning at 6:30am.
