R.I.P. K-cat (1988-2008)
(Note: Had to edit the cat's name. Apparently if you Google it, this post is the first result, and I don't need the in-laws running across this journal that easily). :-)
K-cat came into our lives around November 1988. She showed up at our doorstep daily for breakfast, one of a litter of several tortoise shell cats in the neighborhood. And she was the second of the three cats we adopted in Dallas, and who accompanied us to Illinois and then to Michigan.
K-cat lived the longest. Didi the calico cat passed away in 2003 at age 16, and Vincent the orange tabby passed last year, also at age 16. K-cat only over the last month started her downhill climb, losing almost half her body weight in a few weeks. But she was feisty and loving up to the end. Her labored breathing and X-ray results let us know it was her time.
I almost never cry but I'm fighting tears as I write this. We love you, K-cat.
