I have a heart necklace currently being made which contains my cat’s ash and fur. When he passed, he had just turned 6 years old. I had him since he was 6 weeks old. He was super friendly to everyone who came into the house – he was the first one to greet you. Teddy used to head bump you whenever he wasn’t getting any attention, hated being picked up but loved all the fuss. He received a blood transfusion from his brother over Easter weekend. He also had a bone marrow extraction, which led to the diagnosis of acute myeloid leukaemia, which is rare. Because of Teddy, I am raising awareness of feline blood donors in memory of him.
