On Wednesday, after a swift and sudden illness, we had to say goodbye to our beloved cat of glory.

Our hearts are broken into a million pieces.


๐Ÿ’”


Jaffa, Cat of Glory


Once, so golden in the gleaming sun,

now gone, with a rainbow of lights to guide his way.

No more the patter of quiet paws, which touched soft earth

to feel the crisp of green, or the snuggling caress of yellow.

No more gentle touches from vibrant orange

or the soft, sweet companionship of quiet love.

Just a whisper of pristine white, as he moves, with silent grace,

towards the glorious morning only he can see.


๐ŸŒ 




Jaffa 

2007 - 2021
