Hi everyone, once again this year I will make this sort of post. On Sunday the 23 August, our beautiful cat, Lucia, passed away.
Lucia came to us as a baby, he was a stray who walked along the fence. Mum spotted him and said "Look Kathryn a kitty", he let out a huge meow and that was that. He stayed with us. Lucia has done so many funny and wonderful things. I was nearly 6 when Lucia first came so I have grown up with him, he is nearly 17.
We have done so many things together from playing with toys, ribbons, cotton, wool, he loves to chase things even sticks and bits of grass and knitting needles. We dug in the garden together, he followed us everywhere around the yard, he hung with us the whole time. He loves to sit in his favorite bit of garden, climb ladders and through anything thats being built. He tried to come on walks with us all the time, likes to hit the dog on the head! Comes with us to get the mail. We just spent all the time together.
About 2 years ago Lucia was diagnosed with diabetes, he had his needles twice a day everyday, he isn't phased by them at all. But he really hates the diabetic biscuits. He loves his food, chicken was a real favorite and cheese as well. He loves his bed that's heated he was on that every night and morning sitting in the lounge with us. He also had his basket in mums room and would sleep on our beds. And share mine at night time and in the afternoon.
Thank you so much for sharing your life with us Lucia. We love you so much and miss you very much. We are totally devastated at our loss, I can't stop crying, it hurts so so much.
He wasn't ill, the vet thinks his body was just shutting down. We buried him in our back yard in his favorite part of the garden and along side our little Bitty. Lucia really missed Bitty as we did. I know they are now together, well and happy. Together again and forever.
I love you Lucia.
Here's some photos I thought you would all like to see my beautiful boy.

| I'm so sorry to hear about your beloved Lucia. He was greatly loved and cherished and you gave him the very best life a kitty can have. I hope the good memories you have of him will comfort you while you grieve and bring you some peace.

| I'm so sorry, too, especially after you had already lost your other cat earlier this year. My heart aches for you. I pray for peace to comfort you as you work through this. God bless you!

| I am so sorry to hear about Lucia's passing. How very sad it is to lose your second kitty this year, I know he and Bitty were loved so much. Your family is in our prayers.

Sorry for your loss, he was very beautiful and was a great cat.

Thank you everyone. I've put up some photos of him for you to see.
Dinner time is so hard now we only have to feed our dog, I expect Lucia to run over from the garden our come out of his bed to nag us for food.
I know he is with Bitty and having lots of fun together.
Our dog, Jack, is finding it very hard as we are. Jack has grown up with our cats and now he doesn't have any, poor little guy thinks he is a cat. He's in most of the day to comfort us as well.
I've started a book for Lucia, so I can write down everything he has done and to put lots of photos in. I haven't even finished Bit's and now I'm starting again for Lucia.
Some of his nick names: Lucia Poosha, Lu Cat, Lucia Cat, Garden Bringer ( he is always bringing in lots of leaves).

I like your idea of starting a memory book for your boys.
