Welcome to Matilda (Tilly)'s Rainbow Residency

Memories of Matilda (Tilly)

Tilly was born into our family in 1995, we have had 15 wonderful years together! Tilly was named Matilda but soon took on the nickname "TILLY" as my nieces and nephews weren't to keen on "Matilda". Hee Hee. She has always had the loudest and most beautiful purr! She was mama's baby girl! She used to ride on my shoulder while driving down to visit family from Brandon FL to Bradenton FL. She enjoyed the sun! She was definitely a "SUN GODDESS" :o) Tilly was solo for the first year of her life until her brother Dante was also born into the family. She wasn't to keen on his arrival at first, but soon grew to love him dearly. They always loved their catnip and to lay on the kitty window perches whilst basking in the sun!! She always greeted us with her beautiful purr! Tilly is a very WISE soul and was capable of so much. Tilly lived a very happy and healthy life and has been to a few states outside of Florida, but we always felt at home only here and that is where she lived most of her life. Throughout her 15 years she never had any ailments. In February of this year she had to have two teeth extracted due to abscess, and at that time a possibility of cancer was a concern of her vet, Dr. Sullivan. We kept an eye on it and in June I noticed a swelling on the side of her little face. I took her in and she was diagnosed with oral cancer. All I wanted to do was make her comfortable and without pain as much as possible. I felt that the inevitable was soon to come and did not want to put her through any type of surgery and treatment at her age. So I kept her happy and content for a month and she was able to keep her quality of life, but soon it became to difficult for her to be able to eat. The cancer had progressed and it was time for her to meet up with Dante at the Rainbow Bridge. Dante left us for the rainbow bridge a year ago and now they are enjoying each others company again! Mommy LOVES you TILLY!! We LOVE YOU, Mommy,Maceo,& Isabella xoxoxxoxoxoxox ********************************************************************************************** 2012 POSTS ********************************************************************************************** 7/28/12 My Beautiful Matilda aka Tilly!
