She lived a very long life, but my parents have a feeling she has gone off to die. She's an outdoor cat, and has been that way her whole life, all of 16 or 17 years. She was never a mom, that we knew of, but she was such a sweet cat, even greeting neighborhood dogs with a warm meow.
She disappeared a few days ago and hasn't returned. There aren't too many places for her to go to that are peaceful in the neighborhood anymore, but I'm sure she found a suitable spot.
She has been an amazing cat. despite all her stunts (sprawling in the middle of the narrow two way road in front of our house), and her clumsiness (fall off the fence and NOT land on her feet), and being outdoors all her life (few illnesses, at least that she showed), she has survived so long. She knew it was her time, and she did it with grace.
She will be missed.
Here's a old picture of her. My dad said he'll send me a pic of her from a year ago. The last one he ever took. he said sometime tonight or in the morning. I'll post that one when I get it.
