On August 14, 2009 we said goodbye to a beloved member of our family, Bijoux. I adopted Bijoux back in 1992, from a family who advertised free kittens. Bijoux was the cutest, most adorable kitten I'd ever seen. He had the creamiest fur with dramatic chocolate points. His blue eyes danced with mischief and sparkled like two little gems. I was inspired to name him "Bijoux". Along with the rest of my little herd of cats, Bijoux moved all over New York, relocated to New Jersey and survived all the slings and arrows of that ordeal for almost 10 years. He finally moved with us to Pennsylvania where he loved to sit out on the patio, watch the birds and sniff the breeze. After a brief and valiant battle with cancer, he now occupies a place of honor on my bookshelf. In all his years, he never lost his dignity.
We miss him every day.
