Princess

[JALB]

Last night, the pretty Princess passed away. That night, she didn't want any food or water, and she was just lying down in random places in the house. But she did purr when I petted her. She was 17 years old. I know that's not as old as other cats have lived, but it's still a pretty long time. I'm sure we'll miss her, having had her for so long.

Aww, our condolences, she was a beauty and a loved girl.

Rest in peace dear Princess.

Dear JALB, I am so sorry to learn of the passing of your precious pretty Princess. She lived a good long life with you and your family, full of love and warmth and good food, with people who treasure her and she treasures all the way along. You all have shared wonderful times and experiences, haven't you! My deepest sympathy to you and your family and all who love Princess and grieve her and miss her. May your precious memories and keepsakes help to bring you some comfort.

Now Princess is a glorious Angel at the Rainbow Bridge, whole and healthy again, playing with so many other beloved Angels. She is with you always, watching over you and sending down love. You will be together again, One Fine Day...

Dearest Princess Angel, your beloved JALB and family all love you and miss you so very much. Please send some Angelic purrrs to their hearts to reassure them that all is well, you are with them always, and you will all be together again, One Fine Day...

Thank you all, for your consoling words. I wish I could post some pictures. I have lots of them (over 2500). That's of both Princess and Duchess, though, not just Princess. I remember one picture in particular, in which Princess had a bouncy ball on her head, and did not look happy about it! And another similar picture, in which she had an empty fruit snack bag on her head. She was actually pretty tolerant most of the time, and often didn't care much how you held her, or what you did to her.

When we lived in a neighborhood, she used to like to go for walks on her harness. One summer day I walked her all around the duck pond, and when we got back, she was panting almost like a dog, poor cat! Of course we made sure she had plenty of water to drink.

Another day, long ago, my little brother decided it would be a good idea to close her in the closet! He was pretty little then, so I don't hold it against him. Though I was mad at him at the time...

Also my brother took a picture of her once, when she had been sleeping, and she sure didn't look too happy about being woken up!

She used to have an Easter basket that had lost its handle, that she liked to curl up in, and in which she barely fit. I called her "The Basketful of Cuteness" when she was in it.

I'm sure I have a lot more memories that I'm just not remembering at the moment. I hope you don't think I've talked too much. But I often think I don't talk enough on here. So many of you just find so much to say, and I feel like I can't keep up.
