Our beloved Lily, “Miss Kitty” passed this morning. Lily had many names, “Miss Kitty”, “Lucy” short for “Lucifer”, and many more. She has been Dean’s household companion for almost 12 years, mine for over 3 years. Miss Kitty was full of piss and vinegar, but loving her own little ways. That kind of spunk you grow to love. I remember the first Christmas she spent with Dean & I as a couple. While a cranberry-nut loaf filled the kitchen with a lovely aroma, I placed a holiday towel in a basket on the kitchen island awaiting the warm bread. I turned away to pull out the loaf from the oven, as I spinned to island with my hot holiday goods, there sat “Miss Kitty”. In my basket. I left “Miss Kitty” to enjoy the comforts of her new snug bed, and promptly found another basket and towel.
More recently, she cuddled in our laps with frequency. Tumors … assumed cancer. We will miss you, our “Miss Kitty”. Glad I got to know you.

Oh Anna, I am so sorry to hear about Miss Kitty. Our furry family members never realize how important they are to us! Sending hugs to you and Dean.
Thanks, DK. That unconditional love of our pets …
My thoughts are with you at this time. I’ll give ours extra scratches and love for Miss Kitty today
Thank you sweetie! {:D
We’re so sorry about your loss. I read a theologian once that said something like–all of the wonderful good of God’s creation will be with us perfected in our afterlife–and that surely includes beloved pets. Ms Kitty was beautiful, with her glossy black fur and white markings. Know you’ll miss her but now she doesn’t have to suffer– so hope you can find some comfort in that
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Mary Ann. I believe what the theologian said, and the thought that our beloved furry friends will meet us there. {:D
Dean often called her Satin, I often called her Saten. She sure had a personality of her own. Sorry to see her go.
Miss Kitty, one of a kind. Such an impressionable creature. Thank you for engaging on this blog.
