***REMEMBERING THE CATS***

Thousands of cats were dispatched to the trenches during WW1 to keep rodent numbers down and act as early warning detectors for mustard gas. So many gave great comfort to the troops as companions and mascots. How many cats survived we will never know?

Paws At The Ready -
The cats of World War One had significant role in all the campaigns, we must honour their bravery too.

Give thought to all the kitties
who served in World War One.
A battalion of the finest
who never fired a gun.
What was their role?
Whether hunting rodents out at sea,
or loyal friends to men,
these many cats had vital roles,
time and time again.

The food was saved.
A common sight in trenches deep,
dispatching mice and rats,
the soldiers’ had a special bond
with many of these cats.
Many were treasured mascots.
Five hundred thousand cats were sent
to serve in the Great War.
Some detected mustard gas,
whilst others were off shore.

Some of the feline heroes -
Togo was the Dreadnought’s cat,
The Swan had their lad Ching.
Pincher was the Vinex’s mog,
it was luck they hoped they’d bring.
‘Martinpuich’ was aptly named,
by The 9th battalion chaps.
Pitouchi was the orphaned kit,
who’d survived on army scraps.
Spark Plug, Tabby and many more
were companions to the troops.
The feline unsung heroes,
those cats who became recruits.

We’ll never truly realise
just what these cats went through.

So spare a thought and give some thanks
for what they did for you!

Lest We Forget!

Unfortunately as a breeder we can’t keep every darling. There’s comfort in the knowledge that each has made a difference in someone’s life. We were sad to this little sweetheart go. We wanted her, we’d gone to great lengths to get her (alas it wasn’t meant to be). We have no doubt her new family loves her as we did.

Condolences to my dear friend, Maureen Neil, for the tragic passing of her fur-baby, GiGi (a kitten of my Olivia & Vincent litter).
Her time here on this earth may have been brief but her impact was huge. I’ll miss you little Chub-Chub. May your spirit soar high and free...
🐾💔😢😭💔🐾
Huge shoutout to Dr. Moyra Horner and the staff at the Hazeldean Animal Hospital in Stittsville for their amazing care and compassion during this difficult time.

When a pet grieves the loss of another pet...

I’ve communicated with thousands of grieving pets over the last twenty years and some were totally devastated by the loss of a companion animal. I’ve even had a few cases where the remaining pet suddenly dies of what appears to be a broken heart. Many pets have revealed feelings of worry or fear...
