Ewok was one of
three kittens, her sister
was called Wookie, her brother was
Chewbacca.
They were born in the washing basket
after
their mother, Mink, was removed from
Bonnie's knee where she had decided to go
into labour.
By the time
the Star Wars movie that the
children were watching had finished, all three
kittens had been born.
Three days
later Mink was killed on the road,
that meant the kittens had to be handraised.
They adapted quickly to being bottle
fed and
grew up fast. We decided to keep them all
(as you do!)
Chewy was killed 6 months later when I
accidently ran over him in the driveway and
Wookie
was killed on the road just after we
moved here 10 years ago.
I guess with that sort of family history, Ewok
was
lucky to live to old age!
It's strange not to have her around any
more...... 16 years is a long time to know a cat,
it
tends to become a reliable 'constant' in your
every day life. When that's gone there's an
'empty' bit that you can't
quite fill with
anything else.
I said goodbye to the BokBok and we buried
her next to her mate Eden. Two old
girls
together again.
R.I.P Ewok.
