Memories of Snickers
|
Snickers came to live first with Mommy Marci back in 1994. She was just a 3 month old kitten when Marci took her home from the North Shore Animal League in Port Washington, NY. She purred like a motorboat the instant Marci picked her up. She became an instant playmate for Daisy Bumble, who originally didn't like her at all. Then they became best buddies. Mommy fostered lots of kitties and Snickers would be very motherly to all of the kittens, giving them lots of attention and cleaning and caring for them because they didn't have kitty moms to do it for them. Daisy and Snickers flew to Denver, CO when Mommy Marci moved there in 1996. Snickers loved flying on the plane. Daisy not so much. To Mommy Marci's horror, the carpet in her first Denver apartment was 1970's shag, and Snickers blended right into it. Ugly carpet, beautiful kitty. Snickers loved Colorado and would watch the sunset every evening curled up next to the balcony slider. When Mommy called her name at bedtime, she would come bolting through the apartment right onto the bed and snuggle up on the pillow, atop Mommy's head. Daddy Nick arrived in America via Birmingham, UK in 1998 and Snickers and Daisy gave him their 110% approval rating. When Mommy and Daddy got married, Lola joined the kitty family too. Snickers loved chasing Lola across the wood floors all night long. In 2001, Daisy, Snickers, Lola and Mommy and Daddy moved to Florida. Snickers got to fly on a plane again. By now she was quite a plump kitty, still purring all of the time and always content and happy. Snickers especially loved being able to play on the screened lanai, where she could lay in the sunshine and not have to be in the house all day. Once or twice she even fell into the pool! Little Eric and Fidget followed soon after the move to Florida, and Snickers became surrogate mom to Eric. Eric adored Snicky and would follow her everywhere. She would clean him, play with him and protect him from the other kitties. They were the closest of all the kitties in the house. A real team. In March 2007, Alfie completed our kitty family. Snickers was the only kitty in the family who got along with ALL the other kitties, although Eric was her special favorite. Today is Monday August 13th, 2007. Snickers had been suffering for the last year with thyroid and kidney problems. Today her little body just didn't have the energy to keep going. Her big green eyes told us she was ready to go and that she had had a very good life with everyone in her family. It was terrible to say goodbye to her because she's loved so much. Daddy Nick and Mommy Marci held her and petted her until she slipped away from us forever. She purred up until the end. Everyone who knew Snickers agreed she was a special kitty. A beautiful tortie with enormous green eyes and a constant purr. She took care of kittens and loved Eric most of all. He is heartbroken and will sleep with Mommy and Daddy until he feels better. Rest in Peace, Our lovely Duchess Snickers. You will always be in our hearts and memories. xoxox PS: Say hello to cousins Gracie and Lulu for us. We'll see you again one day. 8/14/07: Oh Snicky, I miss you so much. 24 hours without you and I have cried myself out of tears. Eric is so sad, he just doesn't know where to look anymore for you. He has been hiding under Uncle Kenny's antique desk and looking so forlorn. We cuddled him all night and told him you were going to be his guardian angel from now on. Last night I dreamnt of you but instead of all of the beautiful browns, golds and oranges in your coat, you were different shades of white and silver and you looked so happy and peaceful. Now I KNOW you are in heaven as a kitty angel in your little kitty angel outfit of white and silver. My darling Duchess, I will always be so proud that you were my Snicky-pie. I will always love you. xoxo 8/15/07: Hello Snicky Bicky. Mommy and Daddy miss you so much. We keep thinking we see you by your water dish, hugging it the way you always did. Snickers the water dish protector! We keep remembering silly things you did that made us laugh. The way you liked to lay on your back with your paws splayed wide and we'd tell you "Snicky, a lady reveals nothing!". How you could leap farther than any other kitty in the house and amaze everyone with your dexterity and poise. You lovely girl, you just charmed everyone who met you. Oh I miss you so much and wish you could have lived forever. But you do, in my heart. I know you're romping around with all of the new friends you've made. Daddy and I have had such comforting messages from other heartbroken mommy's and daddy's who miss their fur-angels too and we all know you're all happy together and having such fun in the meadow. We're still sad of course, but we know you are happy and that is a comfort. Goodnight for now, sweet Duchess. Daddy says "Hi Pie-Cat" and he loves you lots. Love, 8/17/07: Hi Baby girl. How's our Duchess today? We bet you're having loads of fun in the meadow. Daddy and I miss you more than words can say, but as much as we hurt and miss you, we know Eric is hurting even more. He is so lost without you and keeps looking and calling for you in his sweet meow that means "Snickers please come take care of me". What an amazing relationship you 2 had together. Please visit him and comfort him so he's not quite so sad. We've been so comforted by everyone at RB who has stopped to say hello to you, our darling girl. Such a pretty kitty you are. Eternally beautiful. We will visit again on Monday. Snicky-kisses to you, Duchess. 8/20/07: It's been a whole week Snicky. I miss my Duch so much. We've all been so sad trying to get on like everything's alright. But everthing is not alright. A special member of our family is gone and we all miss her so much. How could the sweetest little girl only have 13 years? You should have had more. You were just sooooo good. Missing you is so difficult. I just cry and cry when I think of you and all of the life adventures we had together. Such wonderful memories of my darling duchess, Snickers. Rest well baby. We'll keep visiting you and reminding you how much you're loved. Have fun playing in the meadow with all of your new pals. I am so sure every furbaby there loves you oodles, just like they did here. Missing you so much it hurts.... your mummy and daddy. 9/6/07: Driving around today and Here Comes The Sun came on the radio and I was in floods of tears. I miss my cuddle luvvy Snicky cat. We still see you all over the place. Don't ever leave us baby. I couldn't bear to not feel your presence around me. Alfie is trying very hard to befriend Eric who has really been depressed. This past weekend they were spotted romping around together. That's a good sign. Eric learned so much from you Snick, that he can now teach Alfie about being a Gower cat. How to demand belly rugs, fresh water, the best seat on the sofa, all of them. Mommy has to go to bed now. Come visit me in my dreams again duchess. I love you so much and miss you terribly. hugga wugga kiss kiss. Love, your Mummy who will always love and adore you. 9/9/07: Hi Snick. Uncle Kenny came by to visit us last night. He misses you too, very much. He paid special attention to Eric and gave him cuddles. Everyone is taking extra good care of Eric for you. I can tell that even Daisy misses you, and you know how she can be. She's been sleeping with me and being a good girl. Mummy and Daddy want to say a special thank you to everyone who has visited your tribute and left us lovely messages and emails. We have not had a chance to thank each and everyone personally but want to let everyone know how much we have appreciated the love, care and support we have felt from this community. You're in a good place now, Snicky. Have fun with all of the other loved and missed babies with you. My good girl. I will always miss you and your special purr. Kisses and cuddles from Mummy and Daddy. xoxox 12/24/07: Merry Christmas Snicky Baby. Grandma Carol and Grandpa Jack are here with Aunt Bobbie and Uncle Kenny for Christmas Eve. We all miss you. We hung your ornament at the top of the tree. Alfie got his first ornament this year. He dove through the screen in the front window the other day. He can be so naughty. Not like you. You were always the perfect little lady. Kisses 1-7-08: Snicky, Auntie Annie's kitty Mrs. Bund has come to stay in the meadow now too. Please take good care of her and introduce her to all your fluffy friends. Missing you loads as always. Your birthday is next week and we'll come by to visit for sure. Kisses and cuddles baby girl. xoxox Mommy and Daddy 8-11-08: Hi Babycat. Wednesday is one year that you left us. We miss you still every day. I think I catch glimpses of you all the time. Alfie has gotten so big and Eric is still crying for you and looking for you every day. He doesn't understand. Poor kitty. Daddy is in England right now but he sends his love to you and misses you lots and lots. I hope you are having fun playing with Dozer and Muffy and showing them all around the meadow. You're such a good kitty. I love and miss you so much my little Duchess. I miss your wet little nose and your little kitty sneezes. We never did work out what you were allergic to -- I bet it was all the other kitties! We're hugging you and kissing you in our dreams, our sweet little Snickers. xoxox 8-13-08 It somehow seems fitting that for the very first time today Lola fell in the pool. That's never happened to her before. Did you give her a little nudge from heaven? Ha ha. Daddy is in England visiting Grandmummy and Granddaddy. Make sure you visit him tonight in his dreams and give him a big cuddle. We both miss you terribly and wish more than anything that you were still here with us and the other kitties. Kisses to you my baby. We love you. |
