Sadly our cat Kira died on 19 April 2011. We got her from an animal shelter last autumn, and as soon as she came home to our place it felt like she had been with us all of our life. 

We’ve never met a cat before that was so trusting and gentle: she really had a lust for life and enjoyed every single moment of the day. As Ayuma put it, “When she walked into the room it was always as if she brought a little bit of sun with her”, and of course it’s needless to say that it rather felt like she had adopted us than the other way round, and so this little cat completely enchanted us with her soulfulness, kindness and blind confidence in us.

Unfortunately we couldn’t be with her when she got run over by a car that tuesday— so her shining light went our much too soon and Ayuma and me are sadly missing her. Without her, the world has lost one wonderful little creature that had filled the hearts of everybody who met her with gladness and joy, and we do hope that this gentle and friendly soul will find a place in the otherworld where she gets all the love and kindness that she deserves.

The old apple tree in our garden is in full bloom now — but its blossoms will never feel as fair and beautiful again as when Kira climbed over its branches. We miss you so much, little one — but we are honoured and grateful that you shared your life in this world with us, and you will always keep your place in our hearts.
