Well, Nikka was one of our stray cats. My mom got her before we were born, and she was just a kitten. We've had her for a long time. When we finally put her to sleep she was about 18 years old. She was always running away, not that we hurt her or anything, she was just too used to being feral. So eventually she developed cancer over one of her eyes. She was suffering, and the vet said she probably wouldn't live through the operation, so we had her put to sleep. R.I.P Nikka
