She entered our lives in 1993, a kitten bought from a local pet store in town.
My mother and I whisked into the pet store with anticipation because my mother had determined she was going to buy Alan a kitten. It was a day of blooming roses. I remember Alan was barefooted when we placed this tabby tri-colored ball of sweetness into his arms, almost twenty years ago.

I have dreaded this day for some time. But even in my sadness I am extremely thankful she was a part of our lives for all these years.
I will miss her so.

Oh, I am so sorry. She was beautiful. I really dread that day, too.
I so feel for you, Penny was a part of the family. I only knew Charlie for three months but I still miss her. They take a little piece of our hearts I guess. Thinking of you.
I am so sorry for your loss. It's always very hard to lose a beloved pet.
Blessings!

Those little furry loves sure do move into our hearts and set up housekeeping, don't they? I'm sorry.
I don't think we can begin to imagine that when we choose a kitten it will become a part of our family for 20 years. Never in my wildest imagination. We've had our girl for 14 years and no, I don't look forward to the day we lose her. I'm so sorry..
Blessings, Debbie
Oh I am sorry, I can truly understand what dear friends cats are.
