one more kitty angel

Its been the kind of week that makes me glad I don't buy generic Kleenex. We've needed a bunch and the off-brands get scratchy when used in large quantities.

On Friday we said Au revoir to Mollycat. Molly had been a part of our family almost before we were a family - 14 years. Through it all, she approached life with grace and nobility. She hated getting her face mussed, so she always scooped up her water with her paw and licked it from that. She loved being brushed and would strut around the house after. She liked being petted, but only on her terms. She appreciated knitting because it meant that a warm, quiet lap was close by.

Once we discovered the tumor on her spine that quickly paralyzed her, there was no question that she was ready to say goodbye. We were not... and still miss her terribly.
