Teddy

The day was August 30, 2022.  On that day, I officially adopted a gorgeous Lilac Point Siamese cat named March.  He soon let me know his personality, and his forever-name would be changed to Edward Theodore Remus Meow Meow III, commonly known as Teddy.  Very quickly would I learn what an incredibly large heart he had, as I broke my ankle two weeks later.  I think he could tell that his forever mama was in pain, other than the tears, and all he wanted to do was to be near me.  Together we worked through his medical issues and found food that worked well for his digestive system.  Unfortunately, that food made him gain weight – but it didn’t inhibit his love for play, cuddles, and jumping on the bed to snuggle with me.  He didn’t get many treat binges because he had put on weight, but every now and then I would relent and he would be offered a little cheese tax, or some temptations treats when his brother Casper would have some.  Teddy on catnip = free entertainment.  The rolling around, the 'mratting', the pawing at nothing in the air.
He was called to wait for me at the Rainbow Bridge on December 21, 2024.  I wasn’t ready for it, nor were his feline or canine brothers.  I am thankful that I woke up to check on him and was able to hold him and talk to him as he passed, and that his brothers were able to come be near him so they could understand what was happening.  Every year I would decide who the ‘Christmas Pet’ was, based on who would lie down and snooze under the Christmas tree first.  Teddy was named the Christmas cat this year, and he will be honoured with a special ornament to mark his place as the Christmas Cat.  He was the sweetest most loving boy, and I treasured every moment I had with him.
Teddy, I will miss you forever.  It’s a lot more quiet without you, and that silence can hit like a lead balloon, especially in the morning when you would meow at me to wake up for breakfast.  It will take a long time to mourn your passing.  Though your time with me was short, just over two years, those were two fantastic years and I cherish the days with you. 
I love and miss you, Teddy.  Run free at the Rainbow Bridge with your brothers and sisters who have gone before – pain and FIV free. 
Until we meet again, my boy.
Mummy

Martini found his forever home with Stephanie in September 2021. 

He loved to curl up and sleep on his blanket on the couch. He was a loving cat who sat at Stephanie's feet purring while she had her morning coffee every day. He passed away in March 2024. He will be in her heart forever.
