Geoffroy Cat at Big Cat RescueWe had been following his story from birth and chased him through his second owner, who sent him along to Big Cat Rescue with three Bengals on 7/19/94. He arrived taped up in a cardboard box. The fury from within the box made opening it a death defying act. As with many exotic cats, the smaller they are, the more fierce they can be. Everyone says that she “looks just like a domestic cat” but careful study of her size and shape shows that she is indeed a wild cat. It wasn’t until we went to have her neutered that we discovered that she had fooled all three of his owners; Nico is a female.

Nico speaks to us of the medicine of Antelope which is the call to Action.  Antelope reminds Nico that life on this planet is brief and we are all here with a higher purpose than what our Ego paints as its illusion.  Our higher calling has nothing to do with hoarding things.  The physical body is made of dust and it and all that it gathers will return to dust.  Nico wants us to remember that we are called to action on behalf of self, family, clan, nation and finally Mother Earth.

Do something today to make the world a better place.  Pick up litter that you didn’t toss.  Clean up a mess that you didn’t make.  Smile at everyone you meet and silently wish them well.  Make a child laugh or teach him to read.  Pay the toll for the person you don’t know on the highway behind you.  Clean out your closets and garage and give all of the things you have gathering dust to someone who can use them.  Nico knows that the more you give, the more abundantly life gives back, but you have to make the first move.

As I sit here crying while writing up your eulogy post for Facebook, I realize that you died on your 22nd birthday. Run free little girl!

Sharon Dower May 8, 2015
So little and so fierce. I always loved seeing you out and about. You will be missed by so many of us at BCR.

Sharon Henry May 8, 2015
Such a big spirit inside such a petite package. You could have been the twin to my little Frankie girl, and I think that is what drew me to you from the start. You were my little sweet pea and I will remember you always. RIP little one. xoxo

Regina Rinaldi May 8, 2015
Little girl, so cute. Smaller than a kitten,when I looked into your eyes, I found that I was smitten. Mamma Becky loved you, as i did too. Now it’s time to cross the bridge, ad Saratoga waits for you. Rest easy little one. You’ll be missed.

    Big Cat Rescue does so much to help cats. They take exotic cats from bad situations and give them sanctuary for life. They also help out with Florida's orphan kittens.

    You may say that she's the smallest but she thinks she's the biggest! Also, lol at 4.4lbs! That's smaller than my 6lb siamese mix, who is also a bossy little girl.

    Kuro Arashi i read your comment and came to the word "her as" and since it wasn't spaced i accidentally read it as "Heras" as being the name of your kitten lol… I found it would be a cool name for a feral kitten, which is what i have, I can not keep her though as we already have a few kittens that were given to us by someone who didn't want to deal with kittens of a female cat they didn't even know was having kittens.
