The lady who sold you to us said you were full of "piss & vinegar" and gave us a discount! You were such a naughty and spirited cat, but so sweet. We brought you to your mommy (also my mom) a little after Christmas 2007. We got you from a breeder but the conditions were pretty bad and overcrowded. That seems like such a long time ago. 17 years is a long time but too short for a cat like you. I saw your mommy and daddy last week and they said you were dying. I regret so much not seeing you one last time, but I thought you would be around for a few more weeks. You did not like many people, but you always came out and acted very sweet for me. You were very smart and always remember that me and my wife brought you to your new home when you were a kitten. I will miss you very much. I hope Lilly is showing you around and you are chasing endless butterflies in the meadows. Here are some memories from your mommy: "She was three Months old when you brought her to me at Christmas time.. Beautiful sassy, surprised the food we gave her, was all for her. Kept looking left and right, expecting her siblings. Cute, healthy, few times attempted to jump over the neighbor's fence, to see what was there. Once succeeded, Dad needed the ladder, to retrieve her. Liked when we sang to her, and brushed her. Always slept on my bed, woke me every Morning, when she decided it was time for me to get up. In Summer, mostly very early. Liked to eat only Fancy Feast fish food. She was my baby, my companion, very important part of my life. 17 years, 2 Months and 4 Days. It went so fast. I didn't want to travel anywhere, so she would not be alone at home. We loved her, she loved Dad, and especially me, came when I called her.( Usually). After Stella died, for more then five years I couldn't love other cats, until you brought Sophie. Last two Months, she was losing weight, started eating less and I knew the end was near. She lived longer then purebred Ragdolls. (13-15). I was happy with her, she also seamed happy in our home, the only one she knew. I'm very sad, cry, and know that for many reasons, Sophie is my last Kitty. Last week of her life, she stopped eating, was hiding in the closet. She was week, I didn't want to expose her to ultrasound, biopsies etc, that Stella and Chance went thru and died anyway within the days. Sophie stayed home with me, trying to feed her, while she just looked at me, with those beautiful, aquamarine blue eyes and gave me a plaintive meow. Last time night of her life, I've seen her c. Midnight, and just after 5AM, i checked her favorite hiding place, she was laying on the left side, eyes open, mouth slightly open, maybe she was saying something. I knew she was dead, didn't want to accept it, but... After Dad and I cried, he took her wrapped in pretty red bed throw, took her to her vet. She is being cremated, will have the top of the line urn." Please also visit Lilly. |
