Welcome to Foxy's Rainbow Residency

Memories of Foxy

Fox, or "Foxy" as we used to call him was born in our house on 14th July 2008 along with 5 siblings. His mum was a snow spotted Bengal named Keira and his dad a huge handsome silver spotted Bengal named Sisko. Foxy, who had a lovely silver snow spotted coat, melted our hearts from the start and was a real cutie. Foxy was extremely ill as a baby with a corona virus infection that killed three of his siblings, we thought he was going to die too for a while but he pulled through and was never going to live anywhere else after that. Foxy had attitude despite being small for a male Bengal (little man syndrome as we liked to call it) but he was also very loving and enjoyed a cuddle. All of our other cats, especially Freddy, loved Foxy. Foxy sometimes slept in our bed with us and was known to stay under the covers for the whole night on occasions! Foxy was always the first one to get a raw chicken wing, his favourite treat, on a Saturday...no matter who else was around. I used to throw the first wing into the throng of cats and Foxy was always victorious despite being the smallest. Unfortunately our hearts were broken on 18th September 2009 when, at 14 months old, he was cruelly taken away from us by that awful disease FIP that must have been lingering like a ticking time bomb in his body from his infection as a baby. Although our house is full of cats it somehow seems empty without our Foxy. Foxy you may be gone but you will never be forgotten, we'll love you forever our darling little boy. xxxx --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 14th July 2010 - Happy Birthday my darling Foxy, you would have been 2 years old today. I found a card with these words: - A rose once grew where all could see. - Sheltered beside a garden wall. - And, as the days passed swiftly by it spread its branches straight and tall. - One day a beam of light shone through a crevice that had opened wide. - The rose bent gently toward its warmth then passed beyond to the other side. - Now, you who deeply feel its loss be comforted - The rose blooms there - Its beauty even greater now - Nurtured by God's own loving care Sadly I can't believe in God but it reminds me of your last day with us when you went outside in the garden for the one and only time. It was sunny and you enjoyed the warmth before coming back into the house to pass on. I love you Foxy and will be giving your brother Stan a big hug when I get home. 16th January 2010 - Your tattoo was finished off today darling, it looks beautiful just as you did. My heart is still breaking but it's nice to know that you'll be with me for as long as I live. 9th December 2009 - My darling Foxy, today I had your picture tattooed on my arm. It doesn't bring you back but somehow I feel closer to you again. Mind you, every time I look at your mummy Keira's face I see you. She's still as grumpy as ever with the other cats.....not like my baby boy who loved and was loved by everyone. 1st December 2009 - My darling Foxy, it's now been almost 3 months since you left us and I miss you more each day. I love you so much my baby boy. xxxx
