His picture and his nature was the same - he was beautiful to look at and wonderful in his goofiness
We got his ashes last Saturday. It came in this small jar decorated quite simply - just like Totoro when he as alive- a simple sweet kitty.
The kitties gathered around as it was some time ago that we were so busy at night. They sat around this space waiting for what was going to happen. We have become a rather quiet household, not because Toro was a noisy kitty. He was quiet and preferred his own company and ours of course. I think we are just trying to figure out our spaces again without him. But Bujang missed him most of all as he has not stopped looking for Toro in all of our rooms specially at night or at dinner.
We buried him here, in this 7 year old jasmine plant. Toro liked the smell that it gives off in the evenings. He would sniff the air whenever the jasmine flowered.
Totoro - 1st Mar 2005- 16 Sept 2012
Toro and I have the same birthday :) We would be celebrating his life for some time yet:)
We will all miss you deeply, lovely Totoro :'(
ReplyDeleteHe was a really handsome boy and both your lives were enriched cos you had each other. We will all miss him.
