I never intended to get a cat at that point in my life, but my then flat mate got one when her friends cat had kittens. However when the kitten, who my flat mate named Storm, was only a few months old my she moved out and couldn’t take Storm with her. I agreed to keep Storm as she was settled at my flat.
Storm was with me when I met my husband, he was not an animal person but she won him over. She was with me when I had my children, and boy was she not happy about their arrival! For the first 8 years of her life she was a house cat, but eventually we moved from a flat to a house and she started going out. She loved been outside and despite her small size she would put all of the other cats in their place.
Storm wasn’t a very fussy cat, but that made it all the more special on the occasions she choose to curl up on my lap. As my daughters grew she wouldn’t let them near her, she didn’t have time for children. She was an older girl at this point and just wanted a quite life, and that was fine, my girls were told to leave her alone.
Last autumn I noticed Storms tummy was looking larger, but she was otherwise fine and was eating well. However a few days later she jumped on my lap and I realised how skinning the rest of her was. I took Storm to the vet who could feel a lump in her tummy and suspected cancer. Storm, who was normally quite feisty, just lay there and let the vet poke and prod her, and I could see how poorly she was. The vet advised that at Storms age she probably wouldn’t respond well to treatment, and I certainly didn’t want to put her though any stress, so she was put to sleep on November 05th 2019.
Storm was such a good girl and was so well behaved, I will always appreciate the 14 lovely years we spent together. Rest in peace little girl.
