Tears in heaven

On the day I arrived in France, I received the bad news that my tomcat Herman was disappeared. Disappearing in the village where I live means that I will never hear or see a sign of my cat again. All my cats are microchipped. It hurts a lot knowing that somebody kills them. 

I found Herman in the summer of 2012; he was crying for help. After I rescued him he became the most cuddly animal I ever had. As a kitten he always slept under my chin; when he was a grown cat he still tried to sleep in the same position.

Kitten Herman 2012

Due to this situation my mood has changed and at the moment (nature) photography became meaningless; so probably my next blog will take time!

Unfortunately, it does not end here. Since almost one week my cat Grabou is missing. Grabou always stayed nearby; when I called her name, within a minute she came. Like Herman, I rescued Grabou when she was in 2011 a little kitten. I'm very very sad that within a few weeks I lost two of my beloved cats and that somebody nearby, probably one of my neighbours, is killing my cats.

Herman, November 2014

Beyond the door,
There's peace I'm sure,
And I know there'll be no more
Tears in heaven

I must be strong
And carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven
