Remembering Suzy Sunday Selfies

Tuxedo cat on the stairs

Today we are remembering Suzy, Mum's beloved Tuxie cat from the 1980s and 1990s. Mum's late brother Uncle John found her at a pet shop and said he chose her because she was the quietest of her kitty sibblings, who were all running around and meowing a lot. It was fate, obviously, and she became the family cat for 13 years.

Mum quickly and happily grabbed the role of being her cat mummy and took the most care for her.

With the help of BeFunky Old Photo Restorer AI, Mum tried to enhance the photos in this post. Some were so blurry due to the cameras of the time.

AI can look unrealistic at times but we think these pics aren't bad at all. 

Rest In Peace, Suzy xx


Suzy is seen here on a strange-looking radiator in front of this vintage and very loud wallpaper - and just look at that phone!

Looks like Suzy is having a crazy time here.

  6. What a sweet memorial to lovely Suzie ! Those old photos still look great! In these days of digital photos with hundreds on a small card, it is best to not delete any, because someday even a blurry photo may recall a beloved memory,
