My kitty died...
Well technically she wasn't MY kitty, she first belonged to my friend Lesley, who passed away in April. I inherited her after Lesley died, but I had to leave her with my son and his girlfriend when I left Ohio. She was an old kitty and had a good life.

RIP Athena.

1. Why do those creatures insist on dying?
I bury mine in the yard, wherever their fave hangout was. Athena is an awesome name! RIP kitty! and smooches too.

7. I don't know why...
...but I miss her. I like to think that her original companion, Lesley was waiting for her at the rainbow bridge. :hug: Thanks.

3. My dear From The Ashes...
It has to be hard, to be so far away, and not to get to say goodbye...

Safe passage, Athena...

Hugs for you... :hug: :hug:

8. Sigh...
...I suppose that it's just as well. Imagining finding her little body is bad enough. I've had so much loss in the last few months, I probably would have become hysterical. :hug: Thanks, m'dear.

9. One of my friend's cats decided to adopt me,
and insisted I take care of her. I did, until she died.

10. She was a good little kitty...
she used to follow me around, and jump up on my lap (usually when I was busy doing something else) and but her head against my arm until I petted her sufficiently.

(Sad, even though it seems she had as full a life as could be. Hopefully, she's purring on Lesley's lap right now.)
