Nothing is so strong as gentleness, and nothing is so gentle as true strength,Robert W Sockman
Our boy
With the soft turquoise eyes.
Gentle soldier
Silently patrolling the boundaries where you lived.
Fur as soft as seed down,
Everything you needed within you.
Soulwise, self sufficient
You bestowed your gifts upon us:
Light, humour and love.
You came to us as a kitten
On our windowsill.
When the snow fell
you came in seeking shelter and warmth.
You danced your way into our lives
Until, one day, you slipped away as soundlessly as you came.
Our boy, gentle soldier,
Our Bobbiedazzler…..

"Of all the [cat] toys available, none is better designed than the owner himself. A large multipurpose plaything, its parts can be made to move in almost any direction. It comes completely assembled, and it makes a noise when you jump on it."
