It’s now 12 weeks since we lost our beloved Dulcie.

Peter and I still have ‘Dulcie’ moments when we walk into a room and expect to see her in her favourite spot, or think we hear her coming down the hall clutching Marshall mouse in her teeth.

But no, we are mistaken. The house seems so empty without her.

How can a small cat, who in the end weighed no more than a bag of sugar, leave such a huge gap in our lives?

Answer, she had the heart of a lion; boundless determination in the face of adversity; and a personality that would melt the sternest heart.

We laid her to rest in the garden along side her sister and brothers and placed Marshall mouse in the box with her. It just seemed the right thing to do.

And so a 5 cat era that started in 1990 has come to an end. I am proud to have shared my life with them.

Along the way there has been lots of joy and laughter and a few tears too.

This site will continue in memory of Dulcie, a small orange cat who made such a difference to our lives. We will never forget.
