Yassassin Devon Rex

Forget Me Not

When the day comes that we have to say goodbye, we feel the pain will never go; as time goes by, day by day, it eases. Soon we can remember them all, their funny ways, the things that made them unique with a smile. New members come into the family, the circle of life goes on, but in our hearts our departed ones stay forever.

16th April 1994 - 25th October 2010

DD and i had sixteen years together, the little old lady just grew old. A month before I lost her, as I was helping her up the step I found a tumor on her hip. The boys and I knew the time was coming to let her go, we spoilt her, let her steal the cat food if she wished! DD was gently PTS at home, allowed to die with some dignity. I'm not a dog lover, but I loved my little dog very much. We miss you, Goodbye DD. XXXX

I've just lost my beautiful big boy suddenly. Where did the nearly nine years go that I was owned by him? The Yassassin house hold is a very quiet place without his presence, his demanding ways, huge personality, spirit of fire. I was lucky he loved me as much as I loved him, there will never be another Ebeneezer, a true gentleman,  I miss him very much.

If tears flowed into a river, I'd would have been swept away
Could time of been stopped, I'd of held you for one more day.
No need for ribbons, gold cards, a crown, I know that's you, the biggest bright star shinning down.

I first met Barbara back in 1999, after being introduced to her by Kate Hardwick. I'd been enquiring about a stud boy for my first Devon girl - I didn't have a boy of my own at that time.

On entering the "Bolrose"household for the first time it was, for me, what dreams are made of.....everywhere I looked , sitting pretty, very contented, very beautiful, in an assortment of colours, was this very wonderful breed of cat. Whilst leaving Esma, to return 200 miles back to Kent, I didn't know at the time this was to be the start of a different journey for me: my journey through life with my own beautiful cats.

Barbara and I got on well, and early in the year 2000,...... Barbara offered me Ebeneezer, my first entire boy.

Ebby travelled well back to Kent, sleeping all the way, not a peep out of him, He made himself straight at home, there was no hissing, no one batted a eyelid at the new arrival. Perhaps they knew they wouldn't win so just didn't bother!

Together we did a few shows, travelled a few miles - I didn't drive at the time, but he happily sat on my lap whilst making the journey by train. The trouble started when we arrived at the vetting in bench, "all hell broke loose "!

Every time we attempted another show the  " white coat syndrome" got greater. So we called it a day, I respected his ways and his wishes, he didn't want to be a superstar !!

He's gone on to sire some lovely kittens - some doing very well on the show bench - which thankfully do not appears to have inherited the white coat gene !!

A loveable rogue ? So bold, so loving, very cheeky. If you choose to ignore his presence he'll give you a nip to reminds you that he's still there. If you don't pick him when HE wants, he'll climb up your legs......so you have no choice in the matter ! Spoilt? Maybe just a little bit !

But then he's special - My first boy - Ebeneezer

This is for my dear little Esma, gone but never forgotten

I Kiss you gently tears streaming from my eyes,
the time has come to say our goodbyes,
gentle little soul now set free,
when my time comes, please be waiting for me.

Good night Esma
