Arrival Story:
A cat came by my house several times in August and September of 1993. I let her stay with me overnight and fed her if she didn't go home. On September 18, 1993, I found her mother, who said that her black cat didn't like the other two cats in her house. I explained what went on for the past few weeks, so she looked at my house and then asked me if I could make my home hers. I was more than happy to; after all, she adopted me by coming by my house! Her previous mother called her Black Cat and I named her Abby. The name fit her and she answered to it. She was between 2 1/2 and 4 years old when she came into my life, and she gave me 11 of the best years. From the kink at the end of her tail and her many vocalizations, she had some Siamese in her. She hissed and growled at other cats at first, but became more tolerant and then made two cat friends (both black cats) later.
Bio:
Abby passed away on November 24, 2004 from lymphoma. It was the night before Thanksgiving (US) and I thank her for all the time she gave me. She's my first cat and I will always love and miss her. Abby is a one and only who can never be replaced.

Sweetie, it was seven years ago tonight that you made your way to the Rainbow Bridge. Today is Thanksgiving and I thank you for the time you spent with me.
I walked by your house today and put dry food on one of your favorite outside spots. I stood on the porch where I called for you to come in the house.
Licorice Lake, a black cat I sponsored for you at Best Friends, finally got a home. I gave a gift in your memory today and Best Friends doubled the amount.
Lisa gave you a turkey dinner for you and your friends at the Bridge. We want all of you to have a great feast!
I will always love you and will see you again someday.

I made my yearly You Got Me Day anniversary visit to where we lived today.
On my way there, I saw Merlin and Jasmine. Both are black cats who are at least 12 years old and I’m sure they would have been your friends if they lived closer to you.
I got to the house and went up the side walkway, as I have many times before. Someone planted beautiful flowers at the site of your outdoor litter box. There was plenty of room in back of the flowers to put the tiny amount of kitty litter I put there for each anniversary, so I did it.
I could see my bathroom. The shower is in the front and the place where the rug you liked is in back of the shower. I put a few pieces of dry food on the outside of the window.
There was a friendly grey and beige kitty in the back of the house. She let me pet her, but she moved so much that I couldn’t get the information from her tag.
I saw Tippy napping on a chair at the end of my visit. I let her sleep and went to the dog festival down the street that your vet place helps sponsor.
As always, I will love and miss you forever.
PS: Thanks to Tigger for his heart rosette!

Abby, it was six years ago tonight that you made your way to the Rainbow Bridge. For the first time since it happened, it is the day before Thanksgiving. I remember that sad, rainy night and the people who helped me all too well.
I took a walk recently and saw Jinx on his doorstep. He told me how much he wanted to go in his house. I rang his doorbell and his mom came to the door to let him in. It reminds me of when you told me or someone else you wanted in after your outside fun because he told me the same way you did many times.
I sponsored two black kitties at Best Friends in your memory, Licorice Lake and Jamen. We had Licorice Lake last year and I hope he gets a home soon. The other cat we sponsored last year, Nancy, has a home now and no longer needs sponsorship.
You now have a caption for all the pictures on your page.
I looked at your mail, as I do every year on your Bridge anniversary. I have a letter from a vet who works at the clinic you went to, but never met you because he started shortly before you went to the Bridge. He is now Lisa’s vet and he helped her a lot when she was very sick earlier this year. I wish he could have been there for you.
You have three reminders to go for your checkup and get your vaccinations. I wished I could have made the appointments when I received the cards, but you were no longer with me.
I have two of the collars you wore and several of your rabies or name tags.
I have many memories of you and I will always remember, love and miss you.
