This morning, one of us made a big surprise to the other one and gave the most meaningful gift ever: Tatanka Ile (With Tatanka). A black and white photo book full of the photos of our 20 years old cat son Tatanka which we lost in March. The book also contains cat poems written by poets from all around the world.
Tatanka was our taily son, our little black tiger, the pasha of our home. During twenty years, we grove up with him, we organised all our lives considering his comfort, we loved him more then anything.
Now we miss him, we miss him so much…
Oh my – how I understand! We lost our 20+ years old tortie, Mishka, several years ago. She ruled the house, and never forgave us for bringing others in. We still miss her – she was a feisty kitty – saved from the streets of Montreal during the jazz festival (our home is 100 miles away). : http://catwhisperer.blogspot.ca/2008/08/lovely-girl-mishkas-lilies.html
What a lovely idea to print such a book, with poems – a beautiful tribute. My sympathies to you both.
Dear Anya, our son Tatanka is now with your lovely girl Mishka. We miss them and we will never forget… A big hug from us to you.
