THE MEMORY PAGE

This is the page I wish I would never need. The price you have to pay for loving an animal that don't live as long as you want them to do, have sometimes been painfully high.

MAFDET GALAXY SIA b 13.02.2004 - 23.03.2006 Sire: Gr.Ch. Johpas Trickortreat Dam: Gr.Ch. Mafdet Dejavu I had to wait for the longest time before I managed to move Galaxy to this page. One would have to look high and low to find a cat more loving and trusting than this boy. Galaxy had been ill for a long time, and the day came when there were no other cure we hadn't tried, not a stone we hadn't turned, to no avail. To put him to sleep was the only right thing to do, no matter how hard it was to actually do so. I would never have missed a seccond of the time he lived to avoid the pain of loosing him. Beeing able to love this wonderful, magnificient boy for almost two years is an experience I will always hold dear to my heart.	Pedigree

	EC (N)Simkan's Fortune SIA n 21 June 16th 2001 - March 7th 2006 Sire: EC Charivari af Snig (N), SIA b Dam: CH (N)Simkan's Artemis, SIA n 21. My beautiful Fortune, aka Reddik, was put to sleep after a long battle agianst her cancer. She was a beauty both on the inside and the outside, and I'll miss her dreadfully. Pedigree Mother of the J-litter

	(N)Simkan's Bethooven PER ns Born: Dead: Feb. 2nd 2006 Bethooven was big and friendly, but probably not among the brightest. He went through life without any worries, he didn't fight anybody, and nobody foght with him. When his kidneys no longer did their job, we had to say goodbye.

Ch. (N) Simkan's Artemis SIA n 21 1998.04.13 - 2006.01.09 I have been forced to say good bye to my beloved Artemis. Artemis developed lung cancer and way too soon we had to say good bye. An era is over, Artemis was from my first litter with my prefix. Pedigree Pusi's daughter, and the mother of the B-, D-, F- and H-litter.

	EC Opal av Nordtun (N) SIA n 21 1996.04.07 - 2005.10.03 We got almost two years from the first aggressive cancer was discovered until the day for saying goodbye came. The least gift I could give after almost 10 years witht a fantastic personality, was to let her quietly fall to sleep for the last time in my arms when we both knew the day had arrived. Pusi was my very first siamese and introduction to this beautiful breed, she will always have a special place in my hearth. Pedigree

EP (N)Simkan's Charade SIA f 1999.12.23 - 2005.09.25 I have always known that Charades heart was weakened by her ordeal as a kitten, but loosing her still came to soon and unexpected. Charade was a loving personality and very attached to her mother Opal. No problems were so big that a some comfort at her mothers chest couldn't fix it, a comfort she was granted her whole life. Charade has her own page due to her special beginning. That history can be read here. Pedigree

	PR (N)Zospito's Johnny PER ns 1994.06.03 - 2005.05.09 No matter how much you know in advance that the time is running up, the time for saying goodbye always comes too soon. I knew 3 years ago when his hearth started to acting up that this day would come, when his kidnyes started to fail too, the time to say goodbye came way to fast. Johnny was my first pedigree cat, I fell in love with him when I first saw him and I will always have a place in my hearth reserved for him.

*CH SFursten's Black Magic** SIA n 2000.02.09 - 2004.10.05 If tears could make a difference you would still be here beside me. Rest in peace my beloved. Magic died of cancer, he was only 4,5 years old and his life was much to short. Stamtavle

		(N)Simkan's Helouise SIA n 21 2002.06.02 - 2002.10.24 In my mind I knew how small your chances were, but somehow I forgot to tell it to my hart. Helouise was born with the same failure as Charade (see Charades story). After a sucsessfull operation one bloodvessel bursted just as the operation ended. Before the vets managed to stop the bleeding, Helouise was dead.

(N)Simkan's Azazia PER f 30.07.1997 - 24.05.2002 So we came to the end of the road, my stubbern and darling Azazia and me. Kidney failure caused by kidneys schrinking to nearly nothing put and end to our near five years together. I'll miss her dreadfully...		(N)Simkan's Azazia Foto: MH

Cleo with her mother Opal, at SWS 2000. Photo: MH		(N)Simkan's Cleo 1999.12.23 - 2001.01.21 My beloved Cleo! The fact that Cleo died has been one of the toughest one for me as a cat owner. I feel terrible when I loose one of my "babies", but loosing Cleo was unbelievably painful. I believe many have experienced that one cat stands out of the crowd as something special, and for me, Cleo was the one. Her little body bulged with pure happiness for living and she could always fit her body perfectly in my arms. After she died, I seriously thought about quitting as a breeder, I couldn't see myself going through such pain again. But, luckily I guess, the E-litter had been born a month before, and they proved that life goes on.


IC (N)Tchamina's Laddie Magic PER a 21 33 1991.04.21 - 2000.07.23 "Laddie" was more than 6 years old when he moved in with me, and a proof on that how old they are when you get them has nothing to do with how much you love them. A suiting description on him must be "the gentle giant". He was big, gorgeous and with a wonderful temperament. He was the true gentleman towards "women and children", and wouldn't dream of eating from the kittens plate before they were finished. (He never liked other fertile males though, even if he was neutered when he lived with me.)


		Jasmin Olivia av Holyen(N) PER d 1993.06.14 - 2000.04.15 Olivia was three years old when I got her, and another proof on that you can love a grown cat as much as a kitten. Even if her physical size wasn't that big, her personality was enormous. She was the Queen, and no one would ever dream of challenging that position. Her favorite place was next to me, lying halfway across my lap. It took a long time before I stopped reaching out my hand to pet the one that wasn't there anymore. I still have a weakness for red Persian girls because of her.


PR (N)Simkan's Akkumulius SIA n 1998.04.13 - 1999.09.25 Akkumulius deserve his space on this page even though he belonged to my sister and not me. He was unique and special, and a sea of tears fell when he died much to young from poisoning. To have to tell three little girls why life is so unfair that their beloved boy had to die made the tragedy even worse. He loved stuffed animals, and living with three little girls ensured him a steady supply. Every stuffed animal small enough for him to carry (or dragging behind him) was claimed as his property. He loved his girls, as they loved him.


		(N)Høyborg's Andreas (Amandus) CRX n 1996.08.02 - 1999.09.13 Amandus was only 3 years old when he died from kidney failure. His only "function" was as a pet, but I guess that is the most important one. This picture is one of the rare of him sleeping alone. Usually you could only see his ears, buried as he was by Siamese, who loved the soft and warm body a Cornish Rex can provide.


(N)Simkan's Aurora PER f 22 1997.07.03 - 1998.08.15 Aurora was only a year old when she lost for Persian curse: PKD. A genuine kind and loving cat which had inherited her father's lovely temper and personality.


		(N) Høyborg's Honeydew PER gs Honeydew lived with me for only a few months. She had a gorgeous bluetortie-smoke color, the sweetest temper and a lovely type. When she was seven months old I had to put her to sleep because her intestinal canal fell out. The vet tried to fix it with an operation, but as soon as the stitches were removed, it fell out again. The post-mortem showed that she had a severe degree of PKD.
