Absolutely heartbreaking day for me today saying goodbye to both Luci and Taisie ๐ฅ They were the last two of the Long Haired Burmilla's who I kept and that I bred all those years ago. Luci was the first of a brand new line of Long Haired Burmilla's that I created under the Zaria prefix and Taisie was Luci's daughter and TV star in a Fancy Feast ad (shown overseas but not here in NZ). Luci had managed to reach a very impressive age (18) but had gone partially blind and wasn't too well having picked up a nasty cat cold. Sadly Taisie (13) suffered a neurological event (possibly a stroke) on Friday that she wouldn't have recovered from, seeing her walking into things and not having a clue what was going on was so sad. As upsetting as today has been, it brings me a bit of peace knowing they went together and are buried curled up next to each other. They will leave a massive hole in our little family but we have so many wonderful memories to think back on ๐ฅฐ
RIP Zaria Luci and Zaria Taisie, you'll both be missed so much ๐๐ฉท
