Sambuca Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 My perfect cat passed in my arms today and I'm heartbroken. Rita was my first pet. I got her when I moved out of my parents house when I graduated college. I lived by myself in an apartment and wanted a companion. I really wanted a dog, but didn't have the time for one so I went to the Humane Society and saw Rita and knew she was supposed to be mine. She was about 6 months old and a pretty gray domestic short hair with some dilute calico markings. I swear she thought she was a dog. She followed me everywhere. She went to bed with me, made sure I was up with my alarm clock and was always waiting by the door when I came home. Of course things changed when I got the other cats, but she stayed my sassy girl. I think that the happiest day of her life was when I got her her own dog, Bu. Well, she thought I got him for her. The 2 of them had a love affair. Rita would rub all over Bu and Bu would start licking her. If he took too long to lick her, then should would discipline him by head butting him aggressively until he did her bidding. Rita loved all dogs and I would bring her to meet haulers of greyhounds and to the greyhounds farm to cat test the dogs. She would stand there perfectly calm on her leash outside while dog after dog paraded by. She didn't even mind if they tried to eat her. She really was the perfect cat and even though I have 2 dogs and 2 other cats plus a foster dog, my house will be empty without her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BlueCrab Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I'm sorry you lost your Rita kitty. Cats are so funny and their personalities are each so different. My first cat that I bottle raised from a 6-day-old was a dilute calico and was MY cat. Attached at the hip. We have 3 now and none of them will ever fill that void that Beanie filled. But each of them has such a unique personality; non-cat people will never understand that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
