Adopted 2-15-1997, Deceased 1-7-2008


Our cat was quite the character. Every night, she would put us to bed, usually trying to coax us in the bedroom at around 9 PM. In the morning, she would awake us, should we try to sleep beyond 5 AM. She would check on us periodically during the day, and would know when we should be returning, often waiting by the door.

She had a variety of sounds, from one that could only be described as a question mark, to another that asked where you were. I've never had a cat that could make so many different sounds, each with a special, unique meaning.

She also never hesitated to tell you what she felt, including hisses when she was unhappy. Honest and expressive and loving. That was our cat. We will miss her.

Oh GMWC, I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your beautiful cat. One great sadness of sharing our lives with animals is that they never have enough years. Take comfort in how well you all cared for your pet and pleasure in remembering what made her special.

You will know when it's time to welcome another pet into your home and there's so many who would flourish under your loving care.

Thanks. Pets are special, and Samantha will always have a spot in my heart.

Cats are special creatures. So independent, that when they like you, you feel special, "chosen." And--yes--our animals never have enough years.
