Alan says: Jasper was a lovely cat but he would turn a deaf ear when told that he shouldn't sit on the nesting box! You'll be pleased to hear that a number of families of blue tits fledged from this box without mishap! Jasper was the best( most full of life) cat I've ever owned. He would lurk around corners and pounce on my trouser legs. Many's the time I've walked across a room with him hanging on to my legs and gnawing gently! This shot was taken when Jasper was a kitten and he'd just climbed our apple tree. He was also good at climbing curtains, and jumping in chip fat and then walking through a coal heap. It took me a week to get him clean! A wonderful cat who has sadly passed on.
what a little cutey he was, I am sorry to read that he has passed onto the rainbow bridge, but just think of the fun you'll have when you meet up again.
He sounds and slightly looks very much like my "Jaspur" - who fortunately is very much as michivious as ever - even though ours is 12 years old now.
I'm so sorry for your loss - but it's good that you have the memories and thank you for sharing these with us.
What a beauty- and how wonderful to have lived with such a memorable cat, though I am sure you miss him very much. Loved reading the stories- am always wanting to hear more about these characters!
