Au revoir cher ami! A farewell salute to Petya…

“If having a soul means being able to feel love, and loyalty, and gratitude, then animals are a lot better off than a lot of humans.”  – James Herriot

 

Our very dear friend, Petya, has crossed the Rainbow Bridge all too suddenly. While his, well-trained humans were away, one out of France, the other at work, Petya, curled up in a room and went to sleep. Petya was adopted from a local refuge only last January. He was 4.5 years old and arrived with his twin brother. Up until the last, he was eating, playing and running about. He had mastered the great art of sliding across tile floors and stopping just in time to avoid a collision.

The only change a bit more cantankerous than usual, one of his limitless charms. Among his great skills, he was a fearsome hunter, often bringing home gifts, cuddling-grand champion, Ace editor and critic on a laptop, and he loved to play. He will be sorely missed by his humans, Natalje and Cornelis, and his fabulous feline siblings, Piotr, Mishka, James, Boris, and Sophie not to mention numerous friends, two and four-legged.  The small French village where he lived so happily for nearly nine months will miss him. 

 

 

Thank you, Petya, for bringing your magic into our lives we do wish you had been able to stay among us much longer. Good Night Sweet Prince!

 

Bisous,

Colette, Simone and the human, Léa

Fabulous Felines in History # 3: Up, up and away…

This young swinger is here to pay tribute to his late master. Antoine de Saint-Exupèry, one of France’s most well loved authors.  He is loved and best known for the slim book, Le Petit Prince, The Little Prince.  Born 29 June, 1900 he was an aviator during WWII and his plane shot down over The Mediterranean Sea in 1944.

My name is petit renard or little fox. Perhaps my mischevious tendencies contributed in some way toward the way I was portrayed in the book? Actually, I inspired my human and gave him unconditional support throughout the process.Which is one of the many reasons, we felines, are so fabulous and have contributed so much throughout history.

“One only understands the things one tames,” said the fox. Men have no more time to understand anything. They buy things already made at the shops.  

Mon dieu, you’ve caught me in my library chair. I’m just about to curl up with a good book.

 

 

Bisous, Petit Renard, Colette et Simone, oh yes, and the human…

If any of you, or your human, have photos you would be willing to share for future Fabulous Felines in History, please forward them to us. Include your blog site or email address so we can give credit for the photo. Obviously, feline names are not necessary as they will be given names conducive to their story.
