My old Dalmatian Called Amadeus died 4 years ago. He was only 6 years old .

When i tamed Rak'shiri i thought that Amadeus's name should live in the blueish kitty, I know it might be strange, a dogs Spirit living trought a kitty in wow. But its just something about this kitty that reminds me of him!


Miss you Amadeus R.I.P!<33

I might.. might tame a white sabercat (Frostsaber Huntress) and name her Snowy after my white persian, completely deaf the poor gal but she was awesome, had a lovely temperment and was never far from my side. Amazing sky blue eyes. Strange that i remember her so well when i was only 4 when mom had her sent to the SPCA cause mom fell ill again and told me that i wasnt grown up enough to care for her on my own since mom was once more, bed ridden. I raise White Winged cats on magistream, always picking them from the stream and i finally got a female, so i named her after Snowy and she sits in the Royal Keep Chamber tab along with some other Cats who are named after other real life pets, a couple little Pygmy Wyrms, and two Xocomels (chocolate salamander/newt things). I dont know how old she was when she was taken away, there was a cat we had before her, before i was born till i was about a year or two old that was a brown tabby. I remember the pictures but never actually found out if it was a boy or girl or what its name was.

I miss snowy *starts to sob* she probably crossed the bridge already since im sure she was a couple years old when we gave her up and its been almost 16 years now...

I named my Gondria after my American Eskimo dog who passed away a few years ago: "Inouk".
She was sixteen, starting to go a bit senile. I miss her a lot.

She was my first dog. I know, I was old to get my "first" dog, but when I was a kid, my parents didn't really like animals.
Because of health issues, I was worried that I would die before Inouk, but in a way, I'm glad I outlived her. I know she would have had trouble finding herself alone. She was definitely a one-man dog.

I have a hunter who I created as an image of "me", with the intention of honouring my past and present RL pets with hers. She has three pets so far, one commemorating a guinea pig I lost in childhood and the other of a pet that is still alive.

Then there is Peikko (it's Troll in Finnish), a Tibetan Spaniel that an ex and I got when we moved in together many years ago. I got a job in Ireland for six months while he was still a puppy, and he went into care with a lovely woman who owned two dogs (one of which was the sire of my mother's dog) and grew to be a handsome lad. Once we returned back to Finland with my boyfriend, we picked him up and were so happy to have him home again. A week later he was dead, hit by a car when my ex's father didn't close the door of the house properly, and he escaped.

When Sabrina, my dutch rabbit of 10 years, passed away this March, I went out and tamed a black fox which I decided matched her personality and looks best.



I have since released her on Wassa though. I didn't want her to be a pet that just sits in my stable. Instead I retamed her on a new alt which, since I don't have a family on tallstriders on him, she will be by my side often when I play him.

I used to have a cat named Jasper, we got him back in late 2006. He was lonely and meowing the night we got him, so we decided to go back to the house and get another kitten to keep him company ( a cousin) whom we named Taffy. They became the bestest of friends, grooming each other, playing, never traveling far from each other. Jasper had long fur and always reminded me of a lion, he looked like he had a big furry mane =P. About a year later however Jasper went missing,the family and I had gone out for a few hours and upon returning he wasn't there. We assumed he was just outside somewhere, but when he still wasn't there the next morning it got worrying =(. We never did see him again, but hes still in my memory along with these hundreds of videos and photo footage I kept =).
In Cata when i first heard about the rare spawn Sambas, the name 'Jasper' instantly came into my head, I knew instantly that I must find and tame him =P. And so i camped for several days until finally NPCscan popped up with the gorgeous lion, my friend was also there but knew how much I wanted him, so he let me tame. I named the lion Jasper in a heartbeat in dedication to my little fuzzy lion cat whom i miss very much <3.

EDIT: Forgot to add, we still have Taffy thankfully, in fact he is sleeping on the computer chair opposite to me. After Jasper had gone missing he quietened down for a little while, he must have been so sad. It would have been like losing a brother to him =(.
