Good memories of Tessa

[vilakins]

It's a year ago today that Tessa died, and here are some cute and funny pictures in her memory. They're all old photos from before I got a digital camera, scanned in today, and include the Bush Baby, the Two-Headed Cat, and a Cat in a Bag.

Pictures to make you smile and laugh


Tessa asleep in our bed sheets. Altogether now: awwwwww!


Tessa on the bedroom stereo. This had to be on an early summer morning as that's the only time the sun hits that spot.


Bush baby Tessa!


All right, this is how she really was, on a deck railing.


Two-headed cat!


The real picture: Tessa on Greg's car roof


Tessa in a plastic bag. I had to take a photo before extracting her though she was quite happy there.


Three people in bed (Claudia, Tessa, Greg)


Two happy cats on the deck


Closeup of Tessa doing her "cuddle me" pose. Of course I always did.


Closeup of Claudia in the laundry basket. It was a routine to carry her back up and inside when the basket was empty. She's waiting patiently here. I'm going to miss that this summer.

I really need to find and scan the ones of Claudia the Kitten from Outer Space.

Awwwww. I love the ones of her on the stereo, queen of all she surveys, and the one of her in the bag.

[vilakins]

She was a cute and funny and utterly adorable cat. :-) THis icon is from her doing the "cuddle me" pose on my puter chair.

[kindkit.livejournal.com]

She was a lovely cat.

[astrogirl2.livejournal.com]

Aww, lovely pics! Although that two-headed cat one is mildly creepy looking. :)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

It's all right at the proper angle!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

She was adorable! I miss her and Claudia a lot, though the new ones help to make up for that.

[trixieleitz]

Aww, lovely photos! I particularly like the light in the one with Tessa on the stereo. What a great way to remember her :)

[vjezkova.livejournal.com]

Oh, she was such a sweet, lovely thing!
What lovely pictures you have. Ah, this cat will never be forgotten.
And...Tygr and Nácíček do the same things: bags and baskets and boxes!
The two-headed cat is a gem...
*Hugs*

It is! She used to lie on that stereo a lot. Sweet glossy little girl. :-)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

She was a darling, and I could never forget any of my cats; Sigi and Petra, my little tabbies too.

[ultrapsychobrat.livejournal.com]

Oh, these are beautiful--thank god for wonderful pictures. They were such darling cats.

[kalinda001.livejournal.com]

Aw she was adorable and full of character. Thank you for sharing those. Love the cuddle-me pose.

[vjezkova.livejournal.com]

Yes, I have a photo gallery of all our deceised cats. They were all either the foundlings or their descendants, all mousecatchers and all victims to accidents or evil, evil people. Unfortunately I didn´t have a digital camera then. Maybe I will learn how to use a scanner.

These are a lovely way to remember Tessa and Claudia too. The first thing I thought of with Tessa on the Stereo was Eartha Kitt singing I'm and Old Fashioned girl. Tessa has the eyes half closed seductive pose Eartha always used for that song.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

:-D She does look like a sexy singer sprawled on a piano!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I loved them both to bits.

That pose was totally irresistible--and she knew it. :-)

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

They were. Absolute darlings.

[kernezelda]

She's adorable, and it's so clear how content she was with you. You gave her a happy life, and Claudia, too. What beautiful girls they were.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

They were and I miss them so much. I can remember all the happy times though.

[bigdamnxenafan.livejournal.com]

Awwww! Such great pictures! That first one is absolutely adorable! And the one of her in the plastic bag made me giggle. "Have kitty will travel!"

[sallymn.livejournal.com]

Beautiful, just beautiful...

[snowgrouse.livejournal.com]

Ahhhaha, aww. <3 Lovely pictures. *sighs and cuddles them in spirit*

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

All great photos of a wonderful cat. My favorite is the one on the stereo where she's turning to bronze.

[kerravonsen]

Awwwwww.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

She and Claudia would both get in our suitcases. I always wished I could take them on holiday but they hated the car.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

You'll remember them both like that, esp Claudia in the basket.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

She was beautiful. I'm glad I have so many photos of her.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

She was adorable. Hard to photograph because she was so glossy, but these show her well.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I want so much to hold her again. I hope they're all waiting for me. :-)

[snowgrouse.livejournal.com]

N'aww. I hope they come to you in dreams and give you big snuggles.

Also, I adore that one of them in bed with Greg. Noki never goes under the covers like that! That's so cute.

[jaxomsride.livejournal.com]

Aww a lovely tribute.
Bags hold an irresistible fascination for cats.
K'zin likes his basket rides too, though he'd be twice the size of Claudia.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Ours usually prefer cardboard cartons, but I've seen Vic in Greg's backpack. The cubs like being carried in their snugglers, much more than being carried without. Perhaps I'll have another laundry basket taker come summer.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Jasmin does! She starts on the covers between us, then goes under and snuggles up hard, then gets too hot (I think) and pokes her head out like that. It's very cute.

That picture was unusual for having both of them like that. :-)

[snowgrouse.livejournal.com]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Did she learn it from the other kitties or did she just do it naturally? That is so cute. Noki only snuggles up to me if there are no covers in the way.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I think she did it naturally, as Claudia never really poked her head out much, and she never knew Tessa. Ashley OTOH either sleeps on the chair or at the foot of the bed like the faithful "little buddy" Greg calls her.

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

What a darling! Especially the one on the stereo. Kitty used to sit on the lid of the record-player and peer at the record going round.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

She really was the most lovable, affectionate, and gentle little darling. I miss having to type round her, and having her lying on my arm in bed, and "catting" me all evening in from of the telly.

She especially liked watching water running into the handbasin and would sit there and put her paw in the thin stream I ran for her, with great interest.

[merrymaia.livejournal.com]

Beautiful, wonderful photos. Beautiful, wonderful cats.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

They were. They were delights in my life and I miss them so much.

[pinkdormouse.livejournal.com]

Lovely pics! And she was a lovely cat.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

She really was.

Awwww, Schrodinger!

I've never stopped missing past cats, but the new little "cubs" do help to make up for it; they're so sweet and funny and I love them heaps too.
