A sweet Sissy Picture...

On my other post about my son playing Nintendo with all the cats sleeping around him, I posted this sweet picture of Sissy...but I really think it deserves its own thread.

I was sharing in that post that Blue is a very loving cat and he warms up to other cats quickly (several of you mentioned that Chloe seemed like she had always been here). Now, if Blue had died first and sissy was left, she would have had to be an only cat. It took her two years to come to like my dog, Rosco. TWO YEARS!

Because of that, this picture is very dear to me. This was taken just before we found out she had cancer. Those are my feet in the picture (the fluffy blue slippers). I miss my Sissy Baby so much.

Oh my, that's truly sweet and so heartwarming photo, priceless!

Sissy is so beautiful. What a sweet picture.

Aww so precious, she was beautiful

That is SO sweet!

She was such a beautiful cat

Thank you all...I always thought she was beautiful too. Sometimes I look at her pictures and I still can't believe she is gone. Losing a cat after 12 years - especially the 12 years when you grew up the most (I got her when I was just 19 and pregnant with my older son and she died this past July 11) - it is more like losing a part of yourself. I feel like I "knew" her and I know Blue the same way. I love my newer kitties too, but there isn't that history there yet. Like, I know what Sissy would do in certain situations. I knew when it was her who threw up or I knew the sound of her meow by heart. You know...it was just the little stuff.
