Alfie - Best Cat Ever
He was absolutely full of personality, and such a bold character. The first time they both left the garden was so scary, Alfie led the way and they both walked along the top of our fence, eventually leaving the garden. As they reached the third garden there was a big cat sitting at the other end of the fence, Alfie looked....and carried on!
He was also very inquisitive which often got him into trouble, and into the vets. One evening he didn't come home until the next morning. When we opened the door relieved to see him he stood quaking on the patio, literally terrified. The vet thinks he had been running for his life, perhaps chased by a dog or a fox. It had been snowing that evening and Alfie was pure black so would have been very visible.
Every time he went to the door his ears would quiver, he loved the outdoors and especially sunshine so I bought him a lead. We would go out for walks in the garden for the next 10 years, he would love nothing better than sitting or laying in the sunshine.
Unfortunately he always suffered with what seemed like a digestive upset, it started with always needing his anal glands expressed which isn't that common in cats. He then started having the most awful diarrhea and it never really got any better, despite countless trips to the vets and trying different foods thinking it was a food intolerance. Two weeks before he passed we found out that he was highly deficient in vitamin B.
Then he just stopped eating and we had to make that awful decision no owner wants to make to put him to sleep.
We miss him dreadfully, and always will. He was simply the best cat....ever.
Storm is still with us though, he's 17 and despite having kidney disease he's doing very well.
