Little Big Cat




















Sadly, Little Big Cat had to be put down today as his health deteriorated dramatically over the last few days. He was my favourite of Mum's three cats, now looked after by my brother Steve. Little Big Cat defected over the garden wall from the next door neighbours with what we thought was his sister but we discovered later they were brothers! He was the bigger of the two and so was called Big Cat, but his smaller brother grew fat and so we called him 'little' Big Cat, and his brother Big Little Cat. I do wish Mum had given them proper names from the start - he always looked as if he should have been called Felix! He was a sweet, gentle little soul. We'll all miss him.

A very lovely drawing, his eyes are amazing. So sorry for your loss.

Always sad to lose a pet - cats particularly live long and I'm guessing that makes it harder. Lovely that you have this sketch to remember him by - you do such a lovely job.

Your drawing is beautiful and shows the character of the cat. I'm sorry that you lost your cat. Its always difficult when they die, no matter what their age.

Wonderful sketch and I love the names even if they were confusing. Sounds like they had a good life and were well loved. We're still mourning my son's cat Denis who had to be put to sleep way too young, just a couple months ago. Sad.
