Memories of Nando

Nando, my beautiful, handsome boy, I can't believe you have gone, I love you so much and I am missing you. You always slept next to me and whenever I woke up in the night or in the morning, you were there, I put my hand out to stroke you and you were always there, last night and this morning were so hard because you were not there next to me. You were the one my Simba sent to me when I lost him and he was a hard act to follow, but you did it, you were a completely different character but charmed me with your own little ways and how handsome and fit and athletic you were. You loved so much being outside especially on days like today, spring days and also in the summer. You were not so happy in the winter, just like me. I feel so sad as you got through this winter and now would have been your favourite time, but then you became so ill so quickly, you went so thin in just a few weeks, my poor boy, you did not deserve this. I am so sad and upset that you have gone, the house is not the same without your presence, Bella is wondering where you are, just like you did when Ciara passed. I have so many good memories of you sweetheart, and I am so glad that for the last 5 years I could work at home and spend even more time with you and Bella, it was so nice to have you as an office buddy when you were not outside of course.be When you were out you were the top cat around here that is for sure, you were very confident and you would fly out of the door like a spring, you were like this even just a few weeks ago on the few days that you could get out during the winter, I am just glad you stayed like that until the end nearly, only this week did you not really bother about outside, although you still layed on the window sill watching out there. But you were not well my sweetheart, I know that, I didn't want you to suffer and be sad, it was such an awful decision to make, as I didn't want you to go. You came to live with me when you were 12 weeks old, you were a playful lovely kitten, you loved to climb the curtains, oh and you would hang off the curtain rail hahaha, and I remember your first night with me, making biscuits on my hair. When Ciara came to us, you were not impressed but in the end you loved her and her rough and tumble games, I hope you are back with her now, you were so sad when she had gone. You were happy when Isabella came and I think you thought those rough and tumble games would start again, but she is a different character to Ciara and so she wasn't impressed at all. You two had a bit of a love and hate relationship, you would get grumpy with her and growl and raise your paw and she would sometimes hiss at you but then other times you would snuggle together and groom each other. She is missing you now, I can tell. The house is very different without you, not the same, I am missing you so much already. Nando, thank you so much for the good times we had and I just want you to know I have always loved you so much and will do forever. My dude, my top cat, my beautiful Nando.
16/03/2025 -Oh Nando, last week has been so difficult and so sad, it has been so strange without your presence, you were not there doing the things you always do, it was and is just so awful. It has been so hard to sleep without you there. Bella is doing her best but missing you too, you were always such a pair, a twosome who gave me so much happiness and love, I always loved your interactions, and watching you both together. I miss you wanting to go outside, wanting to come back in, wanting to play, wanting to cuddle, wanting some food or treats, you always knew what you wanted sweetheart and you knew how to tell me too. I so miss you wandering around the house, playing, coming for cuddles and loves, I miss the longest meow there ever was, my sweet boy, I miss you so much, I love you forever.
20/04/2025 - First Easter without you my Nando, you loved this time of the year, the springtime and nicer, warmer and longer days after winter when you felt stuck in the house, you loved to go out playing in the spring sunshine and how you would fly out of the door, you loved it, you loved to feel the sun on you and breathe the fresh air and go on your adventures, I expect you got up to some mischief and that it's best I don't know !! But you always loved to come home too, for a cuddle and a nap and some food, you were so happy with your tail held high when you went out but also the same when you came home, you would come trotting up the path and give a little meow to say hello as you came through the door. I gave Isabella some dreamies treats last night and she was looking for you as the packet rustled, as you would always come running downstairs when you heard it, poor Isabella, she misses you too. We both miss you so much. We love you always my sweetheart, it is so quiet without you here.
