Breeeding sometimes is hard...

Sometimes, somethings are just not meant to be and sometimes life can be very unfair...

After Stratocaster has been again hospitalized, i thought that maybe she would have a chance to recover from the severe infection she had in her uterus and from the peritonitis... We breeders always count on the gifted hands and knowledge of our vets but deep down, they only do what they can and besides miracles exist, sometimes somethings are just not meant to be...
My beautiful Stratocaster Blue Tanis passed away April 10th at 19 o'clock... :´(

We still don´t understand how could she hold a dead kitten in her uterus so long without giving us any signs that something was wrong...
I want to believe that she gave her life for the kittens... She wanted so much to spend as much time as possible with her kittens that she protected them until the last minute she could not resist anymore to what was happening inside of her... That´s how i see it... That´s how i want to remember Stratocaster ♥ My white princess

 Stratocaster Blue Tanis - picture taken January 2012

The last two days of her life, Stratocaster suffered a lot in silence and i´m so sorry for that :´(
I blame myself for all the pain  she has been through... but no tears will bring her back and i only wish i could have done more for her... Nothing will bring her back... It´s my time of pain now...


The kittens she left us are as beautiful as her and fortunatelly they were adopted by one of our breeding females that also had babies a few weeks ago. We have to thank Strato´s guardian angels for that
Katie is taking good care of your babies Strato :´(

Watching her babies is a reflexion of her soul and we´ll keep the only girl she presented us with - Glamour.
Glamour will be a mirror image of her mother´s soul and shine...

People that followed Stratocaster´s sad story, especially our close friends, know how important she was to us.
Stratocaster was very loved and forever she´ll be in our hearts.
Strato was already a star between us but now..., she´s really a STAR

  1. My pain and sorrow transpire in the tears running down my face. I can say that I had the honor and pleasure to know her!
    I'll never forget how she huffed when I picked her up and will never forget those beautiful green eyes.
    To you Andrea, I wish strength and courage. I know how it is to lose a sweet cat, a member of our family!
    And I wish to all the babies everything in the world, as well as to their adoptive mother who welcomed them.
    For Glamour I just wish she has the same spirit and sparkle that her beautiful mother!

    Another star is born in heaven!

  3. Eu sei que a dor não passa assim, só porque alguém nos diz que está aqui por nós, mas também sei que é melhor do que não ter o carinho de alguém, porque passei por isso mesmo.
    Quando tive a infelicidade de perder o meu menino, as pessoas diziam "Porque choras e sofres tanto? É só um gato!" mas para nós donos isto não é a realidade. Não é só um gato...é um filho, um amigo, um membro da nossa familia, alguém que nos ama incondicionalmente.
    Tudo o que a Strato aguentou pelos bebés terá um significado e rezo para que todos eles aguentem e sobrevivam. Têm uma excelente criadora que fará de tudo por eles.
    E por favor não te culpabilizes pois fizeste tudo o que podias pela doce Stratocaster!
    Em breve, e se se confirmar, a Ava vai ser mamã! Espero que tudo corra bem, mas tenho medo por ela....sou novata nestas coisas, afinal de contas!
