In Loving Memory of Pickle, The Most Wonderful Cat in The World. Born ?/?/1994  Died 05/06/2007

This page is in memory of Pickle. Pickle was the most wonderful cat in the world, my first memory is of age 1 1/2 years old seeing pickle as a little kitten leaning forward to sniff my hand. I spent my whole life adoring this beautiful little cat. Here is his story.

Pickle was about 3 weeks old when we got him, he still had blue eyes. He was abandoned in the street and left to die, luckily my mums workmate found him in time, and asked if mum wanted him. He got his name from the fact that all the fur on his back had been burnt off, dad said he was in a pickle, and the name just stuck.

  Pickle had a fairly uneventful life, he lazed around looking cute, apart from getting an ear infection when he was little, a thorn stuck in his paw and getting told he had to have a bandage on for a week, and getting bitten by another cat on his tail, 2 weeks of bandage there, he never really had to go down the vets.

  About 6 weeks before he died pickle started getting ill, he just wasn't right, we took him down regularly for 6 weeks, first it was an infected cat bite, then his thyroid so he had antibiotics and a blood test, then it was his kidneys, then they discovered a lump in his throat, so we took him down for a biopsy, a little while later we got a phone call, pickle had a terminal tumour, spreading down his throat and probally to his organs, it was malignant and incurable, there was nothing they could do except putting him to sleep, one of the worst things was that he had exactly the same thing my mums cat buster died of two years ago. Mum rushed me down there, i had promised him that if anything happened i would be with him, so mum took me down. When the vet brought him in he was barely recognisable, he used to be refered to as 'stout', but now he was so thin it was painful. he let us say goodbye to my beautiful baby, and stay with him for as long as we wanted afterwards. At about 12:30 on tuesday the 5th june 2007 i said goodbye to my baby boy for the last time. I have put this page on my website so that my babys memory will live on forever.

 There are probally some who think i'm stupid to refer to Pickle as my baby, but they should not be on this site. Pickle was and is my baby boy, i love him and loved him as my child, and nothing could ever change that.

Rest in Peace, my baby, i will never forget you.
