Rasta Rooter


It's hard to believe that it's been 3 years since our cat Rasta passed away. She was 2 days shy of her 5th birthday. When I was looking through the pictures, trying to find one of her to use for the blog, they triggered so many memories of her. Like how she used to dig in the flower pots and her paws and arms would be dirty, or how she loved to be in sinks, kitchen or bathroom it didn't matter which, and how small she was when she was a kitten. There's actually this picture of her and our other cat Daisy when they were both kittens and we were almost able to put them in either side of the pocket/pouch of a hoodie. And there's this other one of them as kittens in our pantry cupboard in the old apartment and they are just ridiculously cute. Seems like just yesterday that we went and picked them up from the SPCA and took them home. It was pretty funny actually. We moved to Nanaimo on the 29th of August and by the 31st we had cats, even though we had discussed about waiting awhile before getting them. We went to just "look" and went home with two kittens, haha :)

Anyways, I was just thinking about her and about how much she would have loved the house that we're in now. It has great windows for watching birds and a fenced off deck so that the kitties can go outside and watch us garden and a wood stove to snuggle beside when the weather gets cold. She would have loved it!!!

So this is dedicated to Rasta, our beautiful rooter that had to go too soon. You are missed.
