In the foreground with her litter mates.
In my first single college girl apartment, with my pet rats, Ren and Stimpy. She was very gentle with them and, yes, I let them out to play with her.

Up to no good!
Meditating on my wedding vows. Doug was reluctant to accept her in his home. He had never had a cat and wasn't too keen on the idea. I told him we were a package deal. he quickly grew to love having her around. :)
She was never fond of kids until we had ours. She would keep a close eye on them and always was concerned when they cried. She loved to snuggle up with them. Here she is with Aidan.
And baby Sean!
We loved you old girl!
Thank you for being such a wonderful friend, Audrey. You gave me almost 17 years of love and fun memories. I will always remember you.
I am so sorry!! 17 years is along time, I'm sure you will be missing your kitty everyday. My old kitty buddy of 10 years passed away last year from brain cancer. Cat's are the best!! I will be thinking about you!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry! She looked like a sweet cat! I know you will miss her! Our cat will be 18 this year and I hate what is ahead. Thanks for sharing her photos!
ReplyDeleteWe will miss you too Audrey. I still remember when Kari was little and would chase Audrey around you houe "come here kitty kitty" Big hugs from us in Wisconsin. RIP Audrey.
ReplyDeleteAwww,sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteI love cats,my mother always had one while I was growing up.We had some that lived to be pretty old,too.I have many fond memories of them.
Oh no! I'm so sorry, she was a beautiful kitty. I feel your pain! It's so hard to lose a special friend like that.
ReplyDeleteMy first cat also passed away at age 17. My heart goes out to you!
ReplyDeleteI wanted to let you know about the T21 Travelling Afghan Project! I hope you will consider participating and I would appreciate it if you could help spread the word! Thanks!

Rest in peace Audrey. So sorry you had to go through this... I lost my pet rabbit who was my baby 4 years ago and wrote a similar post for her. Take care...
ReplyDeleteso sorry...how are the kids handling it?
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. I know how hard it is. She was a very pretty kitty.
ReplyDeleteWe had to put our dog down after Christmas, he was 15 years old. I couldn't let them say bye b/c I was so upset. A month later, Sam finally realized he was gone. a month! She cried and said she missed him. He is buried at my parents house so when we were there she asked to see where. I think she excepted it rather well.
