When I first met Jacob at Thornberry Animal Sanctuary, he was 8 years old and nobody wanted to adopt a cat of that age, but I knew straightaway that he was special and that I was meant to take him home. He was so black and beautiful, I used to call him my 'puma-panther' (pooma panfa in cat speak)! He was an indoor cat, he never strayed, he would walk down the garden with one of us and run around but would follow us straight back inside. Having said that, he did manage, much to my dismay, to catch a squirrel and bring it to my bedroom as a present.. I don't know how he managed it because it was nearly as big as him! He had an irritating habit of pawing our face at unearthly hours to wake us... how wonderful it would be for him to do that again now. I know he caught a squirrel, but he was the gentlest and most placid boy, he let the kids carry him around and pluck him from his comfy place on the bed to play with him, but he was also definitely top cat!! When we aquired our 1st dog, did Jake put him in his place!! Our new dog Tai, a huge German Shepherd took a claw or two as well!!! 3 years ago Jacob developed an over-active thyroid, he was so poorly I thought I was going to lose him, but when the vet examined him, he said that even though he had a heart murmur as well, he could be treated with tablets, twice a day that placid boy let me put them in his mouth and he swallowed them before his food. Jacob was my baby, mummy's boy and as I practice white witchcraft, he was also my helper, he willingly let me steal a whisker or two for a spell! I miss him dreadfully and love him so much. He was there by our side through such tough times and I believe he held on as long as he could until he felt we were alright.

Personal Notes

23rd April, I had a bad day, missing Cob desperately, had to go to work and everyone kept saying I was quiet, how would they understand that I'm grieving for my puma-panther, mummy's beautiful boy, I asked the angels to look after him and not take him too far away, he didn't like being too far away x Thankyou for allowing me to share your life Jacob, you were my friend, my comforter and I loved and still love you so much and always will, I miss you everyday, please come to see me, I won't be frightened. I'll always burn a candle as we usually did x x x

I'm sorry for your loss! Phoebe's family added this beautiful note on my wall which said to talk to them as if they're still here, and one day we'll meet again. It's comforting to talk to them, keep their memories alive, because they're not just our pets but they're part of us in every way. I'm starting to make this beautiful scrapbook photo album, it's both comforting and sad to go through our memoirs, however, I'm eternally grateful that I could love him so much, they will forever remain in our hearts and thoughts!

Bless you,

Death is nothing at all, I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I and you are you. Whatever we were to each other we still are. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way you always used. Why should I be out of your mind because I am out of your sight. All is well, nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before. Condolences from Dublin Ireland.

Good Morning Cob,
its 4.30 am, Mummy can't sleep. I've been thinking about you lots. And I miss you but I would hate to think you were here and suffering. I know you're in a better place now. I hope I gave you a good life. It wasn't easy was it? Those horrible metal stairs on your poor little paws, Mummy would carry you down to the flowers, plants and sunshine. You'd stretch and sunbathe but be ever alert for me going back indoors and you'd follow.
"The tears stream, down your face, when you lose something you cannot replace,
The tears stream down your face and I will try... to fix you"... THANKYOU my beautiful puma panther for being my friend. Thankyou for the sevens, you clever boy. You showed me you were still with me didn't you? Mummy's brave boy...

Hello there Jacob, Its Tai, your friend, well I would have been good friends with you if you hadn't kept scratching me at every opportunity!!! You even lured and me to plaaces so I'd follow and you could attack!!! You stalked me!!!
Aaaahh, fun times, you'd lived with Mummy much longer than I had and I bet you thought "Mummy, a friend I would like but ....aaaa DOG" Dont worry mate, I knew my place!!!
Its Halloween today. Mummys done a spell but its not so good without your help, but I heard her ask for you to visit her and help. Areal witches cat you knew your stuff.
I miss you, I go to your headstone in the garden and have a little sniff and guard it. Mummy thinks I'll have seen you. There were orbs in the garden, that was you , I know you'll always stay close by mummy because there's only me now and you wouldn't want just me to get all her love. She calls me 'her boy' but says she cant call me "her special boy" because thats what she called you. Anyway im sure I' cu tonight x woof

Hello my beutiful pooma panfer, Mummy's special boy. Its halloween, our special night. I had to do a spell today, it wasn't the same without you here but I know you did come and help me perform the spell successfully. Connor.s been, he said " I love Jake I do" and then he asked if he could go and look where you are laid in the ground.
Come and see Mummy and we'll "ab halp an hour on bed togebba". I miss you. I am thinking of getting another cat but dont want you to be upset about it. But I dont think one will compare to you. If you dont mind me getting another cat, will you soomehow let me know special boy and guide me to the right one. If you are now reborn, guide me to you.
All the love and best memories of my Cobber xxxxxxxxx
