Miss Kitty...

[George K]

Tough thing to go through, indeed, Larry. When a pet has been with you for so long, they become part of you. I remember you talking about Cooter (that was his name, wasn't it?) and how hard it was.

Tough day. Pets do become family...

Miss Kitty quietly passed away in her sleep this morning about 8am.

RIP, good cat. I hope that it was peaceful for her.

RIP, Miss Kitty.

So sorry, Larry. Such a long life for her.

[Larry]

I'm pretty sure she was asleep. She had tried to scratch an itch maybe ten minutes before I checked her and found she had died, then laid her head down again like she had gone to sleep.

I'm going to miss her. I dearly loved that cat.

RIP, Miss Kitty. Sorry for your loss, Larry

Yes, Cooter. He was something... he loved me like dogs love you. You knew that he welcomed your petting him, but his love was just for me.

A funny story about Miss Kitty... up until about a year ago when my dog Booger showed up, every time I went outside Miss Kitty would go sit by the floor to ceiling windows and watch me leave. When she heard my car pull up again she would come running to the door (which is also framed glass) and watch as I came into the house, wanting me to pick her up and pet her. Sometimes she would just sit at the door looking out and wait the entire time I was gone. There were many times she would sit by the door for hours and never leave her spot until I got back home.

Miss Kitty lived a life filled with love. She had her own bedroom, her own bathroom, she ate her favorite brand of food, a fresh little co trainer was opened and given to her any time she wanted to eat. She never wanted for anything - whether it was material, or loved on. I'm going to miss her, but I am at peace with it because she's better off.

Sorry for your loss, Larry.

26 years. Wow, that's a remarkable relationship to have. I'm sorry for your loss Larry, but glad you are at peace with it.

[George K]

Larry, did you have Miss Kitty all her life?

[Doctor Phibes]

Sorry, Larry. It's always very sad to lose a loved pet. As others have said, 26 years is an amazing life-span.

[xenon]

Sorry to hear as well. A quarter century is an amazingly long time. Probably difficult to remember life before Kitty.

She sounds like she was a perfect cat for you. I'm glad you were able to spend some time together last night - and glad her end was peaceful. Those "paw prints on your heart" are a gift we can cherish forever. Do you have a picture you can share?
