Rainbow Goddess
10:42 on 16th May 2009, Kahukura, the Rainbow Goddess, died.
Damn I miss her so much – just one day has gone, but so much is missing from my life. I had started writing a post about her, which I will finish and post later, but she has been such a huge part of my life for the last 9 years.
The vet injected her with an anaesthetic, then with the drugs that stopped her heart. My former girlfriend Emily came with me – she had looked after the kitten many times during my trips abroad, back in the day, and loved Kahukura probably as much as I did.
Afterwards, we took the kitty up Guanyin Shan, and buried her under a tree, which is what Eric the vet said is what should be done to help her spirit in to the afterlife. We found a tree that I thought would be nice for her, dug a hole, and placed her inside.
In to the hole also went the brush that she loved so much, a little button she used to chase around, a little mouse, a food bowl and a pouch of Whiskas her favourite food. I covered her up, walked back down the mountain, and then went to the temple.
I’ve cried so much the last couple of days. I and other friends who had the pleasure of meeting such a precious and affectionate cat.
Rest in peace, Kahukura. You will always be my baby girl…

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my Kaiya girl a year ago this past February and there still isn’t a day that goes by where I do not miss her but it does get a little easier each day. Rest in peace sweet kitty! I know she brought you so much joy. All my love and hugs to you!
