Cookie's Legacy

Cookie was all about the loving and couldn't get enough of it. He was constantly determined to establish new ways to eke out any kind of petting and would regularly attempt various forms of affection attacks to see if he could get anywhere. He was constantly resourceful and easy to love. Combine this with the fact that he was so poorly for so long, the result was that out of the seven cats we have, he got the most of our time, affection and concern. If we were ever needing to sit down and have a chat about one of our cats, it was usually Cookie. He cost us a fortune as in the past 5 years he's been in and out of hospital with his various ailments. We spent tens of thousands of pounds getting him better and for a long time it worked; he was the king of bouncing back. However, this meant that the other cats didn't get as much time from us as they deserve. Having Cookie was like having a sick child. We sometimes resented this, but it was impossible to keep it up. He was a ridiculous cat and this made him so easy to love and so heartbreaking to lose.

We pledge to continue to love Cookie as much in his absence as we did when he was with us. Instead of directing this love at him we will share it with his remaining brothers and sisters as he was the kindest animal I've ever known and this will be his ultimate legacy.
