Yiddie Remembered ©

thank you for your kind comments mark! yes, i did love him and still do and i am glad that it shows! the camera wasn’t very far from his face – it was a great lens (to go with a great mate!) :) vicki

hi dave, thanks! the ap was under 2 and i was as close to yiddie as i could get with the camera. :)

thank you eva! and he is! i am sure yiddie would like your comment too! i got emotional even when i was doing this photo, and writing the blurb! i still think of him as here, he is never far away… :) vicki

thank you pete, for your kind comments and hope that you like the card! he was dazzingly beautiful and magnificent, on the inside and the outside! :) vicki

thank you sylvia! from both of us, i am sure! :) vicki

thank you angie – yiddie would have been so pleased! i can feel him near and here!

yes, he did have a broad nose – i think that was the feral in him! he was a huge gentle monster! he was slim yet he weighed 9 kilos – it used to be so much fun giving him worming tablets! i am putting one of him on soon, when he was a kittie and his ears were huge! but he grew into them! thanks for your kind comments tama!

thank you fran! he was my baby! he was beautiful inside as much as he was on the outside! thanks for your kind comments! vicki

thanks jane, for your kind words! yes, it is a strong bond…. even writing the blurb, i was getting emotional! he was my really good mate but i know he has that special place in a corner of my heart, reserved only for him – where he lives! thank you for being so kind and sweet! xo vicki

thank you thoughtful! i am having trouble tearing myself away from RB! do you ever get like that?!

thank you eelsblueellen! he was a big cat (but not jaguar size!) – his nose was broad and i think that had something to do with being part feral (his parents, i gather? he wasn’t). i found a photo once in a magazine that looked a bit like him and i think it was an asian cat. do you know which variety i mean? thanks for you kind comments and glad that i posted his photos! :)) vicki (yiddie would be happy too, i am sure!)

thank you yimusjane, for your kind words! how do you handle so many rescues? it took me so long to get another cat and even then, sully was given to me – and i am glad (except for when he eats the furniture and the skirting boards) that he is in my life now!

thanks jennifer – i appreciate your kindness! vicki

yes, i see what you mean!!! that is a great shot eelsblueellen! it seems funny that you call him a kitty!!! vicki :))))))

thank you malcolm! and i am sure that yiddie would thank you too! vicki

thank you ingz! much appreciated and very kind (and so true about the love!) vicki :)

yiddie would be saying thank you bubbleblue for sure! :)) vicki

He sure did, Kristina, but he spoiled me back just as much!! He is never forgotten!

Thank you Anne, it has been ten years now but he is still a fuzzy part of my heart (does that sound odd?) – he will never be forgotten, he was my baby! Thanks for your kind comments, Vicki

Thank you! He was gorgeous! I still miss him – he had a unique personality, as they all do, of course! :)) Vicki

So right there! Thank god for cameras so we can capture them for our memories! Thanks for the kind comments! :) Vicki

Thank you Eeeeee-sa! He was! And still is, in my heart!

Thank you missmoneypenny! It was a great lens, this one! I wish I had still had it for these type of shots but it wasn’t digital anyway!
Thanks for the kind comment! Vicki :))

so frustrating! I do find that with my old nikon lens that aren’t compatible, i can still take photos but the light meter doesn’t work – all i do then is look at the photo and judge what lighting it might need. have you ever tried that?

He was so beautiful, inside and out, and still is beautiful in spirit! Sometimes it can hurt too much to think about what we would do without our animal family but they bring us so much joy while they are here. I still get very emotional about Yiddie and it has been ten years! I have to remember how much joy he bought me and how happy he seemed to be!! Vicki

Thank you Michelle! Do you think he looks a bit like Festus? (apart from the fact that he has 2 eyes, 2 ears, a nose, whiskers and fur?)
I think the eyes have a similar expression, I can’t put my finger on exactly what it is… Vicki

That might be it!! Lucky for Yiddie that digital wasn’t around then!

And I was lucky to be blessed with his company for the time that I was!! I still miss him… we never forget, aye? Thanks for your kind comments Tamara! Vicki :)))

He came from a coal mine up in Collinsville (Nth QLD) and my friend rescued him and bought him home. I just thought of him as a tabby. What do you think? I have seen some asian cats (can’t remember the name of them) that he really resembled – they were large as was Yiddie (short for Yidiot, Idiot!! He was a character too!). He looks proportional, and was, but he weighed about 9 kilos – he was a big boy! By bub!! I would welcome any info! Thanks MDossat! Vicki :))

Thankyou karenuk1969!

Others have said that he looked like he might have a bit of abyssinian – and thank you, for your kind comments! I don’t know that we ever get over losing our pets but I try to remember how much joy we brought each other – and they always live in a special corner of our hearts. I think it is good for kids to have pets to learn how to live with loss but the funny thing is, it seems to get a lot harder to deal with when we get older. I would have thought it was meant to get a bit easier when you got used to it, but no. Do you know what I mean by that?

Out of the mouths of babes, aye?

Ta Del! :))

Thanks Zoompix!

Thank you so much Enivea! Yiddie will never be forgotten, not as long as I am alive!! Too true, re your comments! :)))

Thank you George, and I can tell you truly understand!! Yes, please send me the link to your website with the details re your dedication to your cats! Would love to see it! Maybe Yiddie and your cats are looking down on us now, saying “silly bloody humans, being so emotional, we aren’t even dead! We are still here…..” (smiling here!)
Ta George!! :)
