Thanks to all who have sent us condolences, it is very much appreciated by
both of us. It has been a very emotional week, one which I don't wish to
repeat in a hurry. This morning we buried Cleo in our back garden, she was
wrapped in her favourite sheepskin rug and her special towel, this afternoon
we are off to the garden centre to buy her a Camellia bush, at the right
time of the year this will give her flower petals over her grave.

She was such a special little girl, settled in to her new home here when I
married her slave nearly 3 years ago, she didn't much like the little
kittens dancing around her but they loved to tease her. She had me well
trained as a door opener/shutter, if I wasn't quick enough to let her back
in when she wanted in she would pull herself up and over the side fence and
make her way around to the front door where she would sit looking all
indignant, she never wandered off our section (well she was already 'middle
aged" when she came here) she did catch a bird once but I am convinced it
was already dead when she brought it in!
She loved the night time when we would sit and watch the news on TV, she
would climb up onto the sofa and sit between us (usually sit there purring
and dribbling at the same time) I was the one who took care of her, the one
who feed her but DH was her person and she made that quiet clear.
Memories are a wonderful thing and I am sure we will speak of Cleo often in
the years to come.

You are such a wonderful bunch of people I do thank you so much for all the
touching messages.
