The GC PET RAINBOW GARDEN.....

Thanks

I've just managed to post the screenshot but here it is again.

Others later.



We've just been to his house for the funeral. Quite a few locals were there and the kids. Only the adults cried!

 

Anyone who has been fortunate enough to come to Shineyland will know Sarafi and anyone that knows you and Mrs Shiney will know just how well loved and well treated Sarafi was in his second home. I'd go so far as to say that he was probably one of the luckiest cats this side of Gretna.

I am a great believer that animals choose us rather than us choosing them - this was clearly the case with Sarafi as he had his extended family. He knew he'd got it right too and he had a wonderful life.

Sending hugs to you both

 

Mrs Shiney has had about 100 emails and Facebook messages from people that knew him.

 

He would let us know when he wanted stroking or some food. He wasn't allowed inside our house as he was supposed to go to his own house four doors away but it didn't stop him trying.

He would sit at our back door and look through the glass




And if he spotted us in there he would make quite a bit of noise to let us know he was there, and knock on the door.


If we ignored him he would run round to the front, climb the tree by the window, hang sideways and peer in.


Although he wasn't allowed indoors he was allowed in our summerhouse when we were there. Mrs Shiney is a multi-therapist and during Covid she saw patients in the summerhouse (all Covid restrictions followed - disinfected regularly, temperature taken, doors and widows open etc.).

Most of the patients felt so much better when he was around and usually asked if he would be there. He was quite good at massage


Or just helping them to relax


He also like his regular resting/sleeping places.

A hot compost heap was a favourite


As was the heated propagator in the greenhouse


He also had his leather executive chair under the pergola in the garden


Or a comfy spot on the trolley


Like most cats, he liked to curl up in a box - especially if it had apples in it

 

He had other favourite snoozing and snuggling places

His top shelf in the greenhouse


Resting on the walking mats after a hard day's work supervising the hundreds of visitors on our charity Open Day.


Reverting back to his ancestral habitat in the jungle


Any bench would do


But, preferably, a human as a soft cushion






But a cushion was also good


Even a wheelbarrow - at a push

 

Penny went over the Rainbow Bridge this morning I know its a cliche but she really was my best friend when I was going through a serious rough patch of health she never left my side not once
