Harvey was killed on the 17^th April 2002 .  He was struck by a car in our quiet country lane approximately 15 feet from our garden.  He and our other two neuters are allowed access to the garden when we are at home.

 When you love your cats you want to give them everything that makes them happy.  Harvey loved to chase the birds, pounce on the flies and lie under the shrubs in the summer when the sun was too hot to do any chasing about.

His most favourite thing was to help with the watering of the garden; when he saw the sprinkler coming out, he would race across the garden in anticipation of the fun he was about to have.  He loved to run in and out of the sprinkler ending up looking like a drenched rat; it never failed to make us laugh - he never wanted the watering to come to an end!

Simply walking around the garden was a potential hazardous place, when he was there - he would run from one shrub to another, weaving at speed around our feet, chirruping as he went.  Life was such fun to him.

It is ironic that the place that he most loved to be, should be the cause of his demise.

Harvey had it all.  He was stunning to look at, he had a superb temperament, he was gentle, happy and was an extravert character - he was unique.  Losing him has been devastating for us, but as a result of his amazing show achievements we have so many lovely photographs and wonderful memories of our 'very special boy' which we will always cherish.
