Simba

In memory of our Simba Deeply cherished, Dearly missed. Never forgotten. We rescued him and vice versa

BUNSO

Four cats were roaming our neighborhood looking for food. We eventually decided to feed them because we noticed that they looked frail. We gave on of those cats the name of Bunso In our local language, that literally means “youngest one of the family”. He was the smallest among the 4 adult cats, which led us to believe (due to our lack of knowledge with cats) that he was the youngest. He actually turned out to be the eldest. Bunso had many things going for him. He had round, big and adorable eyes and a cute high-pitched meow and sometimes he slept in some funky positions. He also made a light splashing sound that was distinct and more audible than what the other cats did when drinking water. Bunso ate slowly and looked at me from time to time when eating as if he was asking for permission or approval. I would stand watch as he ate so that the bigger cats will not invade his space and take away his food. Bunso did not warm up to me easily even though I always give him food. This made the act of being able to pet him seem even more special once he allowed me too. Bunso passed away on April 17, 2014 due to old age. I will miss you Bunso and everything about you. I hope you enjoyed your time with us. I love you. Thank you for coming into my life.

Emmet The Cat

Emmet the cat will forever roam the back wood and shore of Fall Lake in beautiful Ely, MN. He will trot along the trails amongst the green leaves of summer looking for an opportunity or perhaps he might just take a spin hanging upside down off the porch railing. He may also be found up in a tree playing statue guarding the little house that sits nearby. In the winter months he will stop by and say hi to his siblings in the retirement home in Chisholm. If they don’t feel up for cuddling, Emmet will always find a warm lap close by and let you know he is content with a soft “mew mew”. Although gone in presence we feel your spirit and if we ever forget we just have to look at the ink you left behind. You were one of a kind. Rest in peace in kitty heaven Old Man. You will be forever missed.
