Yesterday Rocky didn't come for breakfast. I checked to see he wasn't locked in the garage... I wondered about him all day. Later in the afternoon Jon got a call from our neighbour that he found Rocky dead in his garden. Jon went to pick him and we gave him a burial. I have no idea really what it was that killed him, maybe some poison, maybe he got sick? No matter he leaves us to rest in cat heaven.

We will miss him a lot because he was a cat like no other. Everybody who met Rocky loved him, even people who don't normally like cats. He loved cuddles, and would always come & sit with you and purr. He was also a very funny cat. These are the great memories we will be left with...
* Sitting outside the toilet door waiting for you
* Chasing the cricket ball while we were playing
* Running, jumping and chasing Dumpy through the house (Dumpy is also missing him!)

* Jumping about a meter in the air to see in the window -- like he was on a pogo stick
* Following me all the way to Jono's house, and then me having to walk him back again
* Running around in circles about 3-4 times when he knew he was about to get fed
* Trying to walk through snow that was as deep as he was tall!
* Pulling the magnetic letters off the fridge and playing with them like they were mice
* Hugging the radiators
* Trying to get as close to your face as possible
* Whenever we came home he would come running to meet us.
I will miss you Rocky, thanks for the fun times! :-)

RIP Rocky
he was so cute, what a dear little face.
