We Must All Say Goodbye Eventually

baby

This girl of mine was over 21 years old. In cat years that is well over 100. Baby was a beautiful stray who got adopted by a family that was allergic to her. While in their care she had a litter of kittens and after they found new homes, the father of this family put an ad up at the VA hospital where my mother worked and shortly thereafter we had a new addition to our family.

Baby was wonderful. She outlived every pet we had after her, except one (Fat Eddie, my sister’s cat).

In the past few days she started slowing down, and today she passed away. She was very lucky- vibrant and active and lovely until the end. We were lucky to know her.
