Vicki.

A lovely cat, she had been rescued from aa beach, it was obvious that she had always fended for herself,she was rescued by 2 girls who were on holiday, I decided that I would give her home, poor girl in so much need of love, scruffy little scrap that she was, I promised her that I would turn her into something beautiful and I would name her Victoria, Vicki for short, and so I did.
I could write a whole book on the funny little things that she did, each morning I threw bread out for the ducks, as soon as she heard them off she went and brought it all inside , placed it on the rug inside the front door, it became a game,as fast as I threw it out she would bring it in, I beat her in the end, I wetted it all, she took her revenge by chasing the ducks, I had the answer to that too,I shut her inside till they had eaten it.
I had her for 12 years but sadly her liver gave up and I had to do the kindest thing for her, but the hardest day of my life, but I say thanks for the memories.

IT IS NEVER EASY TO SAY GOODBYE TO A BELOVED TREASURE BUT I THINK IT TAKES COURAGE AND DEEP LOVE TO DO WHAT YOU DID AND TO KNOW WHEN IT`S TIME.VICKI WAS A VERY LUCKY CAT TO HAVE HAD A WONDERFUL HUMAN LIKE YOU.

She had a good home a loving Mum and Dad, being a rescue cat made her very special indeed.she was very photogenic as well, I know because I chewed her picture up yesterday I'm a naughty puppy sometimes.

Vicki was my Mum's cat, and I was always refered to, after her arrival, as her sister ! Since I had about 40 years on Viks , I could never quite figure that out...........
