Arrival Story:
We had lost our beloved Toulouse at 18 after he developed a bad upper respiratory infection that he couldn't fight off. My heartbroken mother said "I don't want any more cats. I don't want any more cats .... unless they look like Toulouse..." Which she threw in as an aside.
Well, guess what? They went on vacation, and I found out that the neighbor downstairs' cat had given birth to a litter of kittens. Don't ya know that one of them looked just like Toulouse - a black and white tuxedo kitty!
I brought her right upstairs and the surprise was waiting for my parents when they got home. My father, the crotchety old goat that he is, did not like it one bit and never let me forget that I brought "that cat" up here. Well, guess who took care of her her last year? Uh huh - dad. My mom did too, but he did a lot.
She was the cutest little brat as a kitten, and even actually GOT my parakeet, but fortunately, she was too little to kill him and he lived another 12 years after that, but I had to be VERY careful with him around her until I moved out on my own a few months later.
She brought my mom a lot of joy all those years. Her last year was tough. We thought we'd have to put her to sleep about a year ago, but she pulled through and gave us another year together. The last couple of months were hard. She had gone deaf at some point and near the end she went blind. She would find her way to the litterbox and to her bed, but it was a bit of a struggle. My mom struggled with whether to put her to sleep or not. Since she didn't seem to be in pain or suffering, my mom kept putting it off. The last two days my mom knew it was time. We were going to bring her in on Saturday, but she died suddenly Friday afternoon at home.
She'll be missed greatly.
