He would sit in the window and watch me drive away. He loved to chase a straw tied to a shoe lace, catch it and prance around the house with head and tail held high. Many times he'd be at the door waiting for me when I got home. He had hissed less than 5 times until he met Guinevere and then we lost count.12-9-2010
We have a new kitten that you sent to me. He's a part Maine Coon like you. He reminds me so much of you in many many ways. Remember the toy that you chewed most of the feathers off of, well Lancey begs to play with it all of the time. I think that Joe really misses you too. You would have been able to get your drivers license on Nov. 18th. I have a pix of you, Lancey and me taken on that day. I tell you "good bye" and "good nite" everyday. You are sorely missed my dear sweet Gurken.

We adopted another little grey male Maine Coon kitten 3 weeks ago, his name is Gandalf. You'd love him to death. We also have his sister, Viviane, until she is big enough to go live with Brad. It'll be a year, a week from tomorrow that we put you to sleep. I still miss you sooooo much. It's like I'll wake up some day and find you here. Lancey is laying on the table next to me right now. Lancey still begs to play with your feather toy everyday. I remember running around the dining room table with you trying to catch the straw attached to a shoelace. I tell you good bye everytime I leave. I miss you and I always will. You have a special place in my heart. I took a pix of Lancey next to the file cabinet last nite. That reminded me so much of where you would sleep so often.

All Souls Day
It would've been your 17th birthday in a couple of weeks. You weren't suppose to die that soon. I thought that you'd be with me for much longer. I really do miss you and say "good Nite" to you every nite. Joe looked for you to come back for a long time. He seems so lonely and misses you lots. He doesn't really get along with Lancey or Gandy. You are and always will be my sweet sweet boy. Lancey and Gandy both love your feathers on a stick. Daddy put new ones on. Love you lots!!!

Happy Happy 17th birthday, my darling precious adorable baby boy. Oh how I do miss you. I didn't think that you were ever old and didn't realize that you could go so quickly. Last year was one of the worst years of my life. I wish that you were here to share my days with all of us. You'd love Lancey and Gandy. Gandy is a little holy terror. They are both Maine Coon's like you. You were my beautiful good baby. Your feathers are still in use. Happy Birthday again.

It's almost been 2 years since I said "Good-Bye" to you forever. I still say good-bye to you along with Joe, Lancey, and Gandy when I go anywhere and good-nite before bead. Every so often someone will see your picture in my wallet and tell me what a beautiful kitty you were. We were such a sweetheart, so loving and kind. You cared for the other cats that we had and you took such good care of Merlin & Joe when they were babies. I'm so happy that I was able to spend 15 years and 4 months with you. I will always love you, my precious, precious boy!

Gurken, I just read your prayer. I know that you are safe, but that doesn't help how much I still miss you. Joe sits by the back door and looks up at the window, I wonder if he's waiting for you to come back. He's done that ever since we took you out of the house for the last time. you will always be my precious Gurken baby kitty!

Gurken, I can't believe that it's been 2 years since I last held you. You looked so confused when I put you on our bed (cuz you couldn't see.) I didn't want to let you go, but I knew that it was best for you. I have a darling little Maine Coon, whom I'm sure you'd love. I still good bye and good nite to you every nite. You ae always in my thoughts. I can't wait to see you again someday. Mommie became a member of St. Peter Lutheran church last November. Love you babe.
