Happy New Year to all of you. I hope you enjoyed your festive break. I'm sorry to tell you that we had a sad time over Christmas and New Year, beause our lovely Cassie was taken ill.

She was humanely put to sleep at home on January 2nd.

Cassie was 14 years old and we'd had her as a rescue cat from the age of 6. She came to us with her brother Alf, who was her litter-mate. They'd had a very diffficult first six years, to put it mildly, and we spent a long time rehabilitating them.

This is a typical Cassie-and-Alf pose. Wherever Alf was, Cassie would decide that was where she wanted to be too, and she was always lying on top of him.
When we lost Alf, we knew for some time beforehand that it was going to happen, because he had a medical condition; so, although it was desperately sad to lose him, it wasn't unexpected. But with Cassie, it came completely out of the blue. From her point of view, it was good that it was all over with in a matter of a few days, but for us it was a huge shock and we are still getting used to not having her around any more.
