Passing Of The Marmite Loving Fen Tiger aka Oliver

R.I.P.


b. circa end1988/start1989 - d.28.10.07 11:59

Oliver the marmite loving, cheese addict, chocolate stealing, broccoli munching, very dear friend of us all, sadly died today after what we think was a stroke.

She will be very sadly missed.

Our sincere thanks to the staff of Cathedral Veterinary Practice in Ely.

A small funeral was held, at which the family said a personal goodbye.

Oliver became a member of our family in September/October 1989. Lindsay and I were recovering from a horrendous car accident, and this little ginger kitten appeared on the doorstep one day. The kitten came in, was fed, and put outside again. This happened a few times but, unable to take a hint, and coming back for 'more' - Oliver - joined our other 3 cats (Merlin, Shandy and Twizzle) as a permanent resident.

Oliver was in fact "Olivia", but by the time we realised (when the vet said she could not neuter the cat as it had nothing to cut off!) the name had stuck and Oliver she remained.

We sadly lost the original trio in the same year (about 8 years ago) (Merlin in the January and Twizzle and Shandy in the summer a day apart). So Oliver has been the cat for quite a while.

Now we are cat-less and will remain so.

Do you know I really am going to miss having to share my toast or hide chocolate...
