"No beauty shines brighter than that of a good heart, you are my sun on a gloomy day, like a lighthouse in a stormy sea. So, if ~forever~ exist, please let it be you!"

Mr. Bojangles, my big love and special Sweetheart! Not only because he is my first boy from Germany but also because he is so very sweet for me. When I saw his kitten picture I get a very special feeling in my heart! But this breeder was in Germany far away from us so I had in mind that it was not possible for us. That night when I was go sleep I had all the time his picture in my mind and I couldn't get him out of my mind. My husband say, why you send not a message to the breeder and ask or he is available, the distance is not impossible and we can do it with the car. So, I send direct a message to the breeder and my happiness was big when I heard that he was available! I have to admit that I found it exciting, to reserve a kitten without seeing him in real life and do a big deposit to a breeder that I didn't know well yet. But I am so happy that this tension has not stopped me because Bojangles is one of my most beautiful treasures.

Because Bojangles was 5 weeks old when we chose him, we were on time to choose his own name for his pedigree. I chose Mr. Bojangles because I am a fan of Frank Sinatra and Robbie Williams and they both have the song Mr. Bojangles. When he was a kitten he looked like a clown, always finding something to do that our other cats had never discovered. He once jumped on a narrow frame of the window above the kitchen door and he meow loudly cheerfully with his tail in the air to tell us "look at me, how cool is this"! He always walked around the house with his athletic slim body and long legs fast and he has made us laugh very loudly so many times. Now that he is older he does less of those antics, but he is still our active clown who always walks by with a fast walking pass.

Our sweetheart has a wonderful sweet and cheerful character that makes him so special. When I get away and come back home he is already at the door, than he looks deep in my eyes and screeming to me with a beautiful sweet sound and than he is jumping in my arms and give me a lot of kisses in my face. He talking whole stories to me and when I am lying in bed he is always close to me under the blanket. He is very affectionated and he give the most wonderful sweet nose kisses.

All my animals are special to me and very sweet but Bojangles has things that makes him the most special for me. Every time as I look in his eyes I have a special feeling in my heart, as Bojangles look in my eyes it looks or he know everything what is in my mind and what I feel. He love it as I take him in my arms and dance with him while I sing his own song BoBojangelie BoBo in the lie! My lovely boy that make contact with me on a human way with his eyes and sounds, he is for sure a gift from heaven!

When Bojangles as kitten was home with us I felt that something was wrong with his belly, it turned out to be a umbilical hernia and luckily the vet was able to correct this with an operation during his castration.

At the end of August 2016 there was a day that I was very scared of losing Bojangles. It was a horrible and very sad time. Bojangles is always a happy clown, but not this morning, when I was out of bed I saw that he did not immediately come run up to me with his funny and sweet sound to wish me a good morning  and that made me direct allert! He was a pathetic animal and I saw that something was wrong with him! The night before we went to sleep there was nothing wrong with him and everything was perfect! It was weekend and our own vet was not open so I called the emergency vet. We could go there at the end of the day, the vet examined him, but they could on that moment not find a reason why he was so sick. They decided to keep him on the drip that night in the clinic. When we went home without Bojangles my heart broke into a thousand pieces and I could only cry. Not knowing what was going on with him caused a big fear and I was very afraid of losing him. That night was the longest night in my life and I was inconsolable. The next day the vet call me with a update, Bojangles seemed to have recovered and we were allowed to pick him up. I was so happy and didn't know how fast I had to get in the car to pick him up! But when Bojangles was home I immediately saw that it was still not good, he was not my Bojangles as I know him and when I looked into his eyes I saw that he was in pain! I call direct back to the vet, they say that it maybe comes because the stress of the night in the clinic, but I was sure there was more and I say that I come back with him and that they must make a X-Ray of his stomach and intestines. Back by the vet we do the X-Ray and then it was clear that something was indeed wrong in the stomach or intestines but they could not see immediately what the problem was. The vet decided to do an emergency operation so that he could look into the intestines and again starts a horrible sad moment. We were so happy that after the operation we hear that they had found the problem! There was a blockage in his intestines, they have removed it and it turned out to be a piece of soft plastic toy. When I heard that, I immediately knew what it was! More than half a year earlier I discovered that a piece of 1 of the dog toys had been bitten off, we searched the whole garden and house but could not find the piece. The following days we kept an extra eye on the dogs and cats but no one showed signs so everything seemed fine. Never expected that more than a half a year later this could cause problems. The vet said that it is not very often that the problems arise so long later. But it can happen because the toy is in the stomach and does not cause any problems there, sometimes something as that can stay in the stomach for months and then suddenly go towards to the intestines and then the problems follow. I was so happy the reason was found and that we heard that Bojangles would soon recover from this now that the piece of toy had been removed from his intestines. Because Bojangles got a fever after his operation, he had to stay two more nights in the clinic, then he was allowed to go home and when he was home we had direct back our happy and sweet clown, after all the stress and tears that was one of the best and most beautiful days of my life!
