Dobby our funny little cat was cruelly taken from us on Tuesday in a road traffic accident. 
Dobby didn't have the best start in life and only came in to our lives as fate seemed to have a hand.
We had spent months trying to get a couple of cats only to be turned down by the Rspca due to having dogs. So I turned to my vets, they found us Sirius who was being looked after by the Cpl in Northampton. Six months later I happened to be in the vets when a off duty police woman came in with a kitten that had caused a car accident by escaping from the cardboard box he was being taken to a rescue in.
I said if no-one claims him and he passes a blood test against any nasties as we didn't want to put Sirius at risk then we'd have him. Shortly after Dobby came to live with us.
But Dobby came with problems and spent the first 6 months with us living in a dog crate he had been weaned on to a diet of tinned salmon, tuna, and pilchards that had damaged his digestive system. We had times with him just passing blood and he had terrible diarrhoea, we nearly lost him on more than one occasion. Amy loved him and spent hours cleaning him up and giving him his meds. Although Amy's cleaning him up sometimes meant giving him a bath he just took everything and didn't even put up a fight like most cats would have. She must have also bought every toy she could but he didn't know how to play, and to the day he died never really got the hang of it.
Because Dobby was so sickly we used to have to weigh him at the vets every week and this became Dobby's highlight of the week, while I was dealing with rabbits and guineas he was either sat on the scales in the other room or on the receptionists knee. they loved him with a passion.
Eventually we managed to sort him and he got to the stage where he could be neutered and vaccinated. But he has always loved going and sitting in those scales, even being health checked in them every year before his vaccination, the staff at the vets have always loved him amd looked forward to seeing him.
We have battled with his weight for years since he piled it on once neutered, but some of that was down to his stressing at being outside and he didn't cope if Amy wasn't around and some was finding a diet with no fish in it.
Amy being in Peru this summer caused a few problems and we spent 4 weeks with the house being sprayed with Feliway to keep him calm.
Dobby you have left a huge hole in our hearts, we're cried so many tears since you died on Tuesday, you where taken far to young. All your friends at the vets have been in tears and also our friends who loved our funny little cat. We will always remember your silly ways and your beautiful eyes. Have fun at the bridge wobble find our other special cats and take our love to them until we can be there to stroke you all again.
