THIS IS MY CAT "BABY". BABY WAS AN OLDER CAT THAT HAD BEEN SOMEONE'S CAT I'M SURE SINCE SHE HAD ALREADY BEEN SPAYED BUT WAS PROBABLY LEFT BEHIND WHEN SOMEONE MOVED. SHE JUST SHOWED UP AND STARTED LIVING IN MY BACKYARD. SHE WOULD NEVER LEAVE THE YARD ONCE SHE CAME AND I STARTED PUTTING FOOD AND WATER OUT ON THE PATIO FOR HER. IT WASN'T LONG BEFORE SHE ALLOWED ME TO APPROACH HER, PET HER AND EVENTUALLY LET ME PICK HER UP AND GROOM HER. SHE WAS A TINY LITTLE THING WITH A HUGE APPETITE. IT STARTED TO GET COOL AT NIGHT AND SHE WAS SO SWEET AND LOVING, IT GOT HARDER AND HARDER TO CLOSE THE DOOR AT NIGHT AND LEAVE HER OUTSIDE, SO I TOOK HER TO THE VET TO MAKE SURE SHE WAS DISEASE FREE BEFORE I BROUGHT HER IN THE HOUSE TO LIVE WITH MY OTHER CATS. ONCE AT THE VET IT WAS DETERMINED THAT SHE WAS LIKELY 10 TO 12 YEARS OLD, SHE WAS DISEASE FREE BUT WAS HYPERTHYROID AND HAD A HEART PROBLEM, SO I GAVE HER MEDS FOR BOTH EVERY DAY. SHE WAS SUCH A LOVE. HOW ANYONE COULD HAVE JUST TURNED HER OUT WAS BEYOND ME. I LOVED AND CARED FOR HER FOR 5 YEARS BEFORE HER LITTLE HEART JUST STARTED TO GIVE OUT. THE NIGHT I LOST HER, SHE CAME TO ME WANTING TO BE HELD AND LOVED ON, AND LICKED MY FACE AS IF SHE KNEW SHE WAS GOING AWAY AND WANTED TO THANK ME FOR TAKING HER IN AND MAKING THE LAST YEARS OF HER LIFE COMFORTABLE AND LOVING. SHE WAS CREMATED AND HER ASHES REST IN A BEAUTIFUL WOODEN BOX BESIDE HER PICTURE. ALTHOUGH I ONLY HAD HER FOR 5 YEARS I AM GRATEFUL FOR MY TIME WITH THIS SWEET LITTLE GIRL. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE AND REMEMBER HER.
