Lydia...sick kitty progress

[spokewench]

Just saw this post. Sorry about your kitty. I know what it is like to have an old and sick kitty; so hang in there. We do the best we can. They know we love them.

Big Hugs Lisa and a tender scratch behind the ears to Lydia...

Lydia passed away in our bed peacefully about an hour ago. She slept between us last night, and was still able to purr then.

Brian and I tried to think of the one thing most special about about her. We both agreed it was that Lydia had the most impeccable manners of any cat, and that she tried to be GOOD above everything else....and she succeeded. She was so sweet and loving and so very good. She'll be so missed.

Pix from happier times...including her beloved scratching post...where she always enthusiastically showed Brian how 'good' she was every evening when he walked by it. She'd wait and wait and wait for him to walk by and then she'd spring into action on the post- scratching as hard as she could so that he would bend down and pet her and tell her how GOOD she was to scratch there...of course he always lavished praise on her for it.

For a cat to want to please you and be praised, that's really rare and special. You just know she knew she was loved. So sorry for your loss.

thanks for sharing the photos of her happier days, and i am truly sorry about your loss.
She was a pretty cool cat all right!

I'm so sorry, Lisa. She was a beauty.

Lisa, I know you will miss her. I am glad her passing was peaceful. She was beautiful, and unusual, too -- a cat who wanted to be good? I am chuckling over that. My thoughts are with you and your family.
