When I was little I desperately wanted a cat but as we lived right on a main road my parents always said it was too dangerous. But that if we ever moved off the main road I could get a cat.

Well...when I was 8 we moved off the main road to a house up a dead end road opposite a massive piece of common land and guess what...I got my cat! I was so, so happy and we collected my puss cat a little while after we moved. She was the kitten from our friends cat. She cost us (well my parents) a bottle of wine and she was the most perfect puss cat.

I called her Gemini and doted on her. She used to sleep in my bed with me and was so loyal and loving. She had extra toes on each foot, 6 on one, (the sign of a witches cat supposedly) and when she had kittens herself they all had extra toes too!

When I moved in with my boyfriend at 19 she couldn't come with me as we were right by the main road and I was too scared she would get run over. She was happy enough but after a couple of years she went missing one day. She had been known to go off gallivanting for a few days but she always came back. This time she didn't. I went out looking for her but nothing. I was heartbroken and to this day I still don't know what happened to her. I only hope she got lost and was found by some mad cat lady and looked after...

I still miss her, she was my baby.

She was so pretty. This is her sleeping in her fancy fleece bad that hung over the radiator, she loved that bed!
