Since Cosmo’s death Dilmah has been a lonely pussy.  Now he has a new playmate – Rollo!  Short for “Roll Over (and fall off Andrew’s leg)”, which is the first thing he did when I met him on my return from Wellington this afternoon.  Jen chose him from the RSPCA yesterday.  He is six weeks old (which makes his nominated birthday Oct 1, 2007).

He also answers to “The Claw Beast” (Andrew), and “Munchkin” (Jen).

 I am very sad to report that one of our two brother cats, Cosmo, was hit by a car while crossing the road in front of our house at about 0630 this morning.  The driver did not stop.  Cosmo managed to crawl off the road, but died shortly afterwards.

 A nice gentleman who witnessed the event later came back to contact us and tell us what he saw.

 We brought Cosmo & Dilmah home to live with us in early May (see link here).  We think they were born towards the end of February.  Their birthday was recorded with our vet as Feb 18, the same day as mine.  This means Cosmo was about 8 1/2 months old when he died.

 I am suprised at how emotional I feel over the death of a pet cat.  In some ways Cosmo was the physically more frail of the two brothers. He was always getting sunburnt ears, and we were worried that he would get skin cancer. However, I liked him because he was more adventurous and inquisitive than Dilmah.  He figured out how to climb in our bedroom window first.  He was also less prone to come seeking affection, unlike “love slut” Dilmah.

 He is being cremated, and we will scatter his ashes in our garden, along with his favourite toy, Mousey (if we can find it wherever he left it last).

 At least he had a better life with us and his brother than he would have found if he had been left with his mother (a stray).

 Here is a link to an album of pictures. Cosmo has the white fur on his nose, and wears the red collar. His brother, Dilmah, has the black collar.

 We will remember him…
