As many of you already know from FB, I lost my sweet, beautiful 19-year-old girl, Katie, on Wed. morning. Wanted to post here, too, because Katie was definitely a TCS kitty, and I'm so grateful to all of you sharing her life with me since we joined the site. There's really not much to say other than it was a blessing to have Katie in my life for so many years, to love her and to experience her love in return. Katie was my first cat and taught me what a gift it is to be owned by a cat. She was affectionate, stubborn, funny, totally obsessed with human food, especially pizza, put up with a lot from the younger kitties and brought me so much joy. Her loss was not unexpected, but it's still incredibly hard. Katie let me know when it was time and I stayed with her as she peacefully passed at our vet's office, telling her how much I love her. Katie will be laid to rest by the statue of St. Francis of Assisi in our front yard. For now, I'm just sad, missing my girl, wishing I could hold her one more time and tell her how much I love her. My other kitties, Gracie, Claire, Pete and Louie have been such a comfort, but it's not the same as having Katie close by. Of course, she'll always be close by in my heart. Many thanks to all of you for your words of support and comfort on FB, and bless you for remembering my baby girl.
