When our beloved cat Tony passed away in Mexico this past summer (See: 6/14/08 Post), we had him cremated and his Ashes have traveled with us since that time. We have been waiting to find him a suitable final resting place. The lovely city of Buenos Aires and its Jardin Botanico was chosen because of its natural beauty, peace and serenity. Significantly, the Jardin is an authorize refuge for feral felines, who happily wander the grounds and live a life of paradise. So as we prepare to leave the City later this week, we thought the time had finally come, and yesterday laid him to rest. The actual area chosen to spread Tony’s ashes was picked in part because several of the wild cats came over to be with us there seeming to tell us this was the right place. In fact, one somewhat Tony look-alike wondered through the area which I photographed, and then actually came over and sat on our laps for awhile. We loved our "furry son" very much, and hope this place provides him his own eternal paradise. (Pictures below show the wonderful spot where he rests). Because we miss him dearly and it is so difficult to say good-bye forever, we have kept a very small vile of his ashes so that perhaps a small part of his spirit can continue to share our travels and our lives. Or, at least we like to think so; and, that helps us cope with our loss.
