Memories of Minky
Minky first came into my life Oct 1994 when she was just a kitten.
She was very sweet and loving and never hard to please. Although she never liked being held too much she loved to cuddle up on my tummy while I was laying down. She loved to follow me everywhere and when she wanted my attention, she would take her paw and tap me on the leg.
After a short while Minky stopped being just my cat and was my best friend.
She was also my alarm clock in the mornings and would greet me at the top of the steps when I would come home. I have many, many great memories with Minky but I am only going to mention a few.
- When she was a baby, she climbed to the top of our Christmas tree and tried to take a nap up there. I remember I could not find her anywhere. Then I heard the branches moving and realized it was her. She loved Christmas napping under the tree, climbing all through the presents like they were all hers! She also liked trying to eat the tonsil or drink the water from the tree.
But mostly she liked to nap under the tree.
-Another time was after Minky came home from the hospital (her very first time) she was on medication that made her a little loopy and somehow wondered into our attic and fell between the studs in the wall. For hours my family and I searched for her but could not find her. She never meowed a word. Then finally when I passed the wall where she trapped and she heard my voice she would whimper, well needless to say my husband had to cut a hole in the wall to get her out.

Then on March 10,2008 I took Minky to the vet, she was losing weight and wasn't eating, after blood tests rays and ultra sounds, plus three days in the hospital they told me she had Cancer on her lungs and spots in her abdomen, then drained 250cc of fluid off her chest and sent her home two weeks later she went back to the vet and stayed another three days placed on O2 and had another 250cc of fluid drained, she then came home for six more days and was given La six and another medication to increase her appetite. On April 4th, I took her back to have another 200cc of fluid drained. I brought her home. I could not get her to eat anything, she could not get comfortable, she would not follow me around, she whimpered and meowed most of the night. It was the most horrible night of my life I did not go to bed I stayed by her side. In the morning I called her vet he told me it was most likely time to let her go now, he said bring her in I will evaluate her first. As soon as he looked at her he said the fluid has built up already again since yesterday, she is having a hard time taking in air, he said it was time.
And now she is gone and I miss her Dearly.

It was one week ago today that you had to sadly passed away.

I miss you more and more each day you are no longer there to see your sweet face.

to wake me each day. Two days now I have awoken late.

YOU CAME INTO MY LIFE A LITTLE OVER 14 YEARS AGO...

I WATCHED YOU GROW FROM A LITTLE KITTY TO A BEAUTIFUL CAT.

YOU GAVE ME MANY DAYS OF PLEASURE AND HAPPINESS.

YOU CROSSED THE BRIDGE TO HEAVEN.

BUT I KNOW SOMEDAY I TOO WILL CROSS AND I WILL HOLD YOU AGAIN.

AND THIS TIME IT WILL BE FOREVER.

YOU MADE ME LAUGH WHEN I WANTED TO CRY.

YOUR FAVORITE SPOT IS EMPTY NOW, BUT YET I STILL SEE YOU.

I WILL MISS THE PITTER PATTER OF YOUR PAWS.

YOUR LITTLE MEOW WHEN YOU WANTED TO BE HELD.

I WILL MISS MY MORNING WAKE UP CALL,

FROM AN OUTSTRETCHED PAW,

SAYING GET UP AND PET ME.

I WILL FOREVER REMEMBER YOU AND MISS YOU EVERYDAY.

I WILL THINK OF YOU DAILY UNTIL WE MET AGAIN AT RAINBOW BRIDGE. WHERE WE WILL BE TOGETHER FOREVER AND EVER AGAIN APART.

I LOVE YOU..............

Hello, my little pumpkin pie, how are you? I hope you are eating and making many new friends. I'm doing ok here I guess; well, I made it through the week anyway. It's been rough, it's been quiet, you know how it is when daddy goes to bed early it was always you and me up late on the computer or at the t.v. and now it is just me. I still cry and cry. I know I shouldn't because you can now breathe easier and feel no pain, but it's just not the same. I'm sorry if I sound like I'm complaining. I don't mean too. I just miss you. Well take care for now and I will talk to you soon.
Love and miss you, Mommy.

Hello, my baby girl, how are you today?
It's been two weeks today since you have been gone. I still can't believe that you really are!
I still look for you below my bed each and every morning when I wake up.
When I come home, I still look for your little face a the top of the steps.

Hello, my baby girl, how are you today?
It's been three weeks today.
I miss you more now than I did.
that horrible day you had to go away!
I keep asking myself why, why did it have to be you.
You were the sweetest, loving fur baby I ever met. I know that there does
come a time when we all must go, I just hope that when it is my time that you
will be waiting there for me because I will certainly be looking for you!
Love & miss you much

Hello my little Angel! How are you? I am doing alright, I guess. I still have your food and water bowls in the kitchen right where you left them. I couldn't bear to see a empty spot if I were to move them. It still feels very empty without you here. Thank God for photos and videos because without being able to see yours I don't know what I would do.
It is 1 month ago today you went away; I still miss you each and every day. I will love you always and forever!
Love, Hugs & Kisses
Mommy

Hello, my baby I was just thinking about you and thought I would stop in to let you know that. it's been two and a half months now, I miss you very much. I've adopted two kitties from a rescue/homeless volunteer group. They are grey just like you.
Don't worry though YOU will always hold the first and most special part of my heart!
I just needed to fill that empty feeling I had and daddy thought that this would be the best way.
Love and miss you much,
Mommy
