Lotus
The last picture of Lotus.
Yesterday I buried my sweet Lotus, 17 years old.
17 Years ago we got her and her brother from the shelter. They were farm-cats, sick and shy. Lotus and her brother Maan (Moon) turned out happy and healthy cats and they were so gentle, not the average barncat but with aristocratic blood in their veins. Maan died two years ago.
I buried Lotus next to Nisse who was the love of her life.
Today I bought a pink camelia for her. It hurts to loose a dear pet, but I am also grateful for all the sweetness, fun and love she surrounded me with all these years.
Thanks little princes.

ReplyDeleteOh Lotus was so pretty. And you honor her with the beautiful plant. It is sad to say goodbye to beloved pets. May she be in cat heaven with lots of tuna fish and catnip balls.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss of Lotus. It sounds like she had a wonderful 17 years though which I know won't make you feel any better but still...she will be happy in her kitty afterlife I think!
