1986 - 2005

Charlie

Charlie passed away on 7 February 2005.

She was a great companion and will be sadly missed.

Charlie spent the first 10 years of her life with my sister and brother in law. When they visited New Zealand in 1997 she came to stay with me together with their other cat Lucy who passed away in 2001.

Charlie had a fantastic character.  She was very independent but also loved being around humans.  It was always a joy to communicate with her and on many occasions she would welcome me home from work with her trade mark meows.

Her independent streak was often evident in her spending most of a nice summer day staying in the garden, alternating between the heat of the greenhouse and the cool shade of the nearby hedges.

She was also very playful and even well in to old age loved to chase a piece of string around the room or attack plastic shopping bags.

Charlie brought a lot of joy to my sister's family and also to me.  She will be sadly missed.
