This is dedicated to my cats that have passed over to the "other side".  As a breeder, I feel ultimately responsible for all my cats and kittens, up until the day they leave this world.  I know it is so very hard to "control" how things are for them once they leave my home, but any decisions that I make in regard to their future has a definite bearing on how they may do while in that persons'  care. We are not all "perfect" but we must be diligent in respect to what our cats and kittens are or may be exposed to, their lives can depend on it!  This includes outdoor exposure, dangerous tools or articles that may hurt them, strings, buttons, yarn, elastics, balloons and last but not least...poisonous plants.

 It is with great sadness that I am announcing the first "casualty"  that has befallen one of my cats that has left my home.  My Radiant  'Rajah',  a lovely, sweet, affectionate and beautiful 2 year old Bengal was let out onto an outside patio and was exposed to a poisonous plant from the Lily family. His kidneys failed and he had to be "put down". Upon hearing this, I was saddened and outraged; the owner was away and left a friend to care for Rajah. There was a breakdown in communication as to where Rajah could "go" in his house.... his death was avoidable and senseless. I still feel Rajah is my cat, although I had let him go to a new home. He was my very first boy, and he and I were quick to form a close bond.  Rajah was always ready to greet me with a "prancing walk" and he loved to rub on my legs. I will miss him dearly.  I am saddened and will endeavour to stress to new owners of my cats and kittens, to educate themselves as to the dangers that are there waiting for our cats to find..... without our supervision, they are helpless....would anyone let their children be exposed to such things?
