Our dear sweet Boeing (Bobo) the cat) was taken from us 3 nights ago; she was hit by a car and killed outside our house. I won’t even go into how heartbreaking it is to collect your beloved cat up off the road, I thank god David was able to do that, he wrapped her in a towel and brought her inside. We showed her to Alexander so he could see that she was dead, but he really doesn’t understand so well. David took her to the vet’s as we are going to have her cremated and returned to us in an urn.

I’ve tried to explain to Alexander that she has gone to heaven now, “to be with Great Grandma he asked” and today he asked when she was coming back in her jar. So I guess in his own way he understands.

I remember when we first brought Alexander home from hospital I was worried Bobo would hop into his bassinette and sleep on him; she never did, only sat at the edge of the bed and peered in if he was crying. Later she would sleep at the end of his cot with him and then on his bed at nights. She never bit or scratched him, even when he carried her around with his hands tucked under her armpits and her body dangling down to the ground!
Rest in peace sweet kitty, we will miss you very much.....
