I infrequently visit this board so am a little late in offering my sumpathy on the loss of your wee darling. How lucky you and she were to have shared 16 years.
Holly was the best wee Christmas surprise I ever received. I had ordered a Siamese kitten from a lovely Breeder in Blenheim. All kittens were spoken for but she promised that I was top of the list if there was a cancellation. The phone went 4 days before Christmas 1995 to say there had been a cancellation and I would have my ddear wee darling in time for Christmas - hence the name Holly.
My lovely wee Cream Burmese died in January 2011. Zara and Holly were inseparable and ever since Zara died, Holly has been getting frailer. Mum died suddenly 4 weeks ago. I was away for a few weeks and poor Holly just seemed to give up. I have Mum's little Seal Burmese living with me now - she's nearly 4 years old and is the half sister to my Chocolate Burmese girl, Bailey. Both Bailey and Mitzi adored Holly so they are grieving as well. Poor Mitzi lost Dad 6 months ago, Mum 4 weeks ago and now Holly. She has a lot of adjusting to do - as do I.
