Mousey

I had to help my adorable kitty to the bridge today. She was diagnosed with lymphoma at the end of August, so I have been preparing myself, but it has not made it any easier. I keep expecting her to tell me it's time for her food, or to come walk across my laptop because *she* is the one who is allowed on my lap, not the computer. I would love to be able to watch her face light up when the Christmas tree is put up in the years to come, but I am glad that she did enjoy herself when I put it up on my birthday about 1 1/2 weeks ago.

 

She was a great kitty who my cousin adopted as a kitten in October of 2002...about a year later, she gave Mousey to her sister who had her for just over a year before her high prey drive dog bit Mousey...which is when I got her. This spring would have been 6 years that I would have been owned by Mousey & I am glad I started taking pictures right from the start up until Dec. 1 of this year.

She was a good dog bed & crate tester:

And also good at checking out the dog dishes to ensure they met the minimum standards:

And she was NOT fond of her Halloween costumes/hats:

I will bury her at my parents house, which is next to Lake Michigan alongside my other cats...that way I will always know where my little pumpkin is.

I am sooooooo sorry... I hope you can take comfort knowing her spirit will never leave you. And every Christmas you will know she is there when you put up your tree.

 

She was so beautiful, inside and out.

I think Pop & Zelda are kinda looking for her, although I did come home and immediately went over to Pop and cried into his shoulder. Pop was adopted roughly 6 months after I got Mousey and then about 2 years later Zelda was adopted. Mousey ALWAYS made Pop share his bed, even though he would growl at her...she told him who the boss was (all 9 lbs. of her). I still remember one time while playing with Pop, Mousey got jealous came running over, jumped up and hung from Pop's neck :eek Pop stood very still with this look of 'OMG, what do I do?' :lol:lol

 

And during the home visit with Zelda, Zelda and the other girlie chased Mousey up a 5' ladder, literally :blush Nothing like seeing 2 greyhound girlies bumping butts down the hallway trying to get to the kitty first. Needless to say, Mousey wasn't overly thrilled when Zelda came home to live :lol

One thing I just realized, and it may not be related...but Mousey's lymphoma started near her intestines more on her right side...which is where she was bit by my cousin's dog almost 6 years ago. It just makes me wonder.
