Memories of Duchess
Duchess was my guardian angel for 17 beautiful years. In her youth - she loved the outdoors and would spend hours just basking in the sunshine while munching on her favorite snack, grass. I never knew this little baby would change my life the way she did when I adopted her originally in the 6th grade. She watched me grow from childhood into the woman I am today. She taught me what true unconditional love and forgiveness was. She was always there to comfort me when I was sad or felt alone in this world. She reminded me that despite my flaws, she loved me just as I was. When I'd come home from work after a bad day, she was right there to cheer me up by giving me love for as long as I needed it and then immediately demanding dinner with her unforgettably cute sassy meow and expressive tail after I felt a little better.

She truly impacted everyone she met and was loved by her local vet's office for her kindness and truly sweet nature. She never bit or scratched a soul because she was truly the most kind baby I've ever owned. Her trust was hard earned but enjoyed by those who took the time to understand her quirky ways. She would cuddle right up on your chest and lay her little face on your chin as you watched TV or scrolled on your phone. She'd follow me around the house chattering away and telling me about her productive day of relaxing around on my bed or hanging out with my Tita.

The only time she wouldn't be kind was to the small prey she hunted like lizards and birds (sorry little dudes!) She was an excellent hunter who always brought me gifts that she'd leave at my doorstep. One time I saved a bird from her and released it only for it to be free for seconds when she charged right at it, jumped, plucked it from the sky, and ran off with it before I could save the bird again. She'd always bring me back a part of her hunt whether it be a wing or leg from a critter (YUCKO) but I knew it meant "I love you mommy" even if it made me gag. LOL. It was hilariously dark and so like her to do such a thing.

When I was learning how to dance with flow toys - she'd find me outside and come hangout while I practiced. She didn't mind that it would be hours because it meant more time in the sunshine with mommy. She had so much energy then and would get super excited and would BOLT across the neighborhood when I was feeling really good about my dance practice. When I'd finish - I'd scoop her up in my arms and would even dance around with her and she didn't mind whatsoever. Her purr was so deep and let you know how truly happy she was. She loved to be held and would even streeeetch up your leg to let you know she was ready to cuddle. If I ever called her to come home after she spent time outside - she'd shoot out of a bush and go BRRRR to let me know that she heard me and would run back to my balcony and climb up for dinner. She was so powerful and strong!

When I moved in with my partner, she immediately fell in love with him and would even steal his cuddles from me! She was such a sassy little girl with so much love to give. I still am at a loss for words that a little kitty like her could have so much personality.

Her favorite snack besides grass was chicken nuggets from Chick Fil A and you'd be wise to put your food away before she discovered that you had something she loved. Cause if you left it out, she would steal the chicken nugget right from your plate!

I love you, Dutchie girl. You were the Hollywood star of my life and I wish I could hold you in my arms for just a moment more. I wish I could kiss your little nose and toe beans and remind you how much you mean to me. I will forever miss your good smelling belly and your patience with letting me shove my face right into your tummy. You were such a blessing in my life and nothing will ever come close to the love we shared. I hope you are no longer in pain and are up in the heavens with Tigger, Daphne, and all of our other babies who have crossed rainbow bridge. I will miss you and love you forever.

I never knew how much this would hurt, but I'm grateful for every single cuddle and laugh we shared. You were my rock on the days I needed to be grounded. You were the light of my life that brought so much warmth and happiness each day. My bed will never feel the same without your warmth and purrs. I will continue to honor your memory by thinking about all the good times we shared in the sunshine. You were the best girl I could ever ask for and I will never forget you in this life. I will carry you in my heart for eternity and look forward to the day when our souls can reunite as one. A part of my soul lifted away when you left me and I will never forget you, my silly angel girl.
