scallywag it was the comments on the post from his friends Sheila & Frances, who I've met several times in the past, which got me. As to the photos I took both of them The one with Mark was the first in a sequence where Roman was rubbing his head against Mark's face & arm I posted most of them in yourpet.boards.net/post/73071/thread and in fact the full photo Mark posted came 3rd in the February 2016 Valentine's forum fun photo comp yourpet.boards.net/post/126182/threadHe really was a fusspot & believed in marking his scent on you

So sorry to have posted photos/video that upset people, I suppose I just see it as celebrating his life with images of the good memories even to the end.

He's home. I got 2 surprises, I had his pawprint done & I always thought he had big feet but the pawprints look so small! I hadn't realised that the box containing the pawprint has a slot in the inside of the lid to put a photo or something similar, just got to find the right one from all the ones I've got. Also there was a scented candle with him, the sort that is in a jar with a lid. Apparently the head vet makes them at home, a rather nice touch. I've got 3 plants which will be put into a pot, I've got the pot, just need to remove the plants that are in it, they can go into smaller pots, a number are just self seeded anyway. An Acer palmatum Bi Ho (or Bi Hoo or Bi Hou) which has yellow-green lobed leaves emerging in spring with a salmon-pink flush and turning shades of yellow and orange in the autumn before falling to reveal the golden-yellow and orange coloured stems. and for remembrance & memory:- Rosemary Roman Beauty a trailing rosemary with "arching stems with mid- to dark green leaves and clusters of small, two-lipped, violet-blue flowers in late spring and early summer". Rosemary Green Ginger an upright rosemary with "clusters of light-blue and white two-lipped flowers from April into Summer and repeating sporadically into Autumn". "The leaves are sharply flavoured with ginger and give a real hit of rosemary as well" I thought both have so appropriate names & the Green Ginger really does smell of ginger as well as rosemary The strangest thing happened when buying these plants. I'd found a nursery which sold all 3 but after a nightmare journey - motorway closures & a diversion which was badly times - through a town at school leaving time - I got there to find that they'd sold the last Roman Beauty & the Acer was a large specimen tree but I did get the Green Ginger I visited a couple of garden centres in the same area on my way back and saw a similar acer at one of them but the label said Japanese Jewel. It was only when I got home and did more research that I found this was the brand of acers suppliers not the specific acer name. As a result I checked the garden centre group I'd seen it at & found the nearest one. Phoned them & found they had both the acer & Roman Beauty I successfully bought them both there. The spooky/strange bit is that the garden centre is about a mile from the rescue we got Roman from in 2007!!!! It was meant to be

Arrr that’s lovely tonib and the candle is a real touching thought. I have just seen the 2 pictures of Roman they are beautiful. I think the garden centre near to Roman’s rescue was just meant to be. Glad he is home where he belongs 😻

I can't believe it is a year ago just now (1/6/22 @ about 5:05pm) that I said goodbye to my special boy Roman. You were with us for 15 years 7 months & 20 days just wish it could have been longer. Right from when we first met you at the rescue you found your way into our hearts. A real softy with us & other cats in the house but a very independent cat who was happy to roam the countryside but always came home just occasionally giving us the odd scare but only for a day or maybe 2. Other cats around knew not to tangle with you without being prepared for the consequences & you had a few of those yourself leading to vet visits & tablets which you took so easily Missing you my ginger ninja, thank you for being such a lovely cat. I hope you are enjoying yourself at Rainbow Bridge and found Chloe along with Penny & that recently Osiris found you all and we'll all see you there some day.

I can't believe it's a year since you lost Roman. He'll be looking after Osiris, as will the others.
