Well yesterday we finally had to put the old 20 year old cat to sleep. It's hard to imagine that we've had that cat since Aaron was only 7 and Cris was 11. We hauled that poor freaked out cat across 3 states to live in Texas with us. Now we are down to only 1 more cat, who is now 13 years old.
One thing that really disrupted her life was when Paul moved in. She didn't like him for some reason and ran from him until 2 years ago. Then she discovered that he wasn't such a bad guy and even fed her breakfast every morning. The entire time we had the dog, this cat would only stay upstairs and hide. She didn't like that dog.
When she finally discovered the dog was gone, she made her way downstairs and had a glorious time. Instead of hiding upstairs under a bed or in a closet -- she was outside walking around the back yard and rolling in the sun.
We'll miss that old girl, but we won't miss her peeing all over the place and that awful Siamese howl she liked to do at 3 in the morning. She was crazy, cooky and pretty weird.....but she had been our pet for 20 years. Rest in peace Shadow.....now you can go and hang out with your best friend Tiger again.
