My cousin brought her to me on Christmas Eve 1994. She was just barely weaned and the cutest little thing. She had something wrong with her tail so that when she was happy it didn't stand up like most cats, but flopped over her back so the tip would be on top of her head. She was so tiny. I named her Nothing, because she weighed nearly nothing, and I was reading a book with a character named Nothing.
She was so quiet and sweet, and had a little croak of a meow.
She had the loudest purr I have ever heard. It didnt rumble, it ... trilled... it was nearly musical. She had the roughest tongue of any cat I've ever had or known, and loved to lick my fingers while I sat trying to type here at the computer. She liked when I'd cradle her like a baby and rub her tummy. When I'd try to pull my hand away she'd wrap both her front paws around and pull it back. She'd lick my fingers and I'd rub under her chin, to wash what she couldnt reach. I don't know how we started this. Shed lick, then stop and I'd rub her chin, then she'd lick again and I'd get the top of her head, and so on. Every night when my husband and I got into bed, she would jump up on my side and wait for me to get comfy and id put a hand down for her, and she'd lay down and cover it with her paws. I could go on and on about her.
She died just a few short hours ago.
Se had a tumor removed back in June. The vet told me it was cancer. She seemed to be doing fairly well and after the fur covered up the big scar, it was as if she was all better. Recently she had lost some weight, but still seemed spry and happy.
She was under my feet as always this morning. Then late this afternoon as I sat here doing some online stuff, my sister ran in yelling. "Nothings DEAD!"
I ran into her bathroom and she was laying there. I wailed. I screamed, I was so overcome I didnt even have any tears.
I called a pet crematory 30 miles away. I had always planned to have her cremated. We wrapped her in blankets and rushed out there. The nice man on the phone assured me he'd take care of her. He asked me to call when we were almost there because the last bit of the directions were a litte hard and the place was easy to miss at night. I called after driving nearly an hour there (traffic) and he never answered. We drove in circles looking for the place and never found it.
I was angry and horribly sad. I didn't want my baby laying out in the back of the car til tomorrow. We parked and called a few more times. I left messages. We ended up buying a huge bag of ice because we thought she'd have to wait til tomorrow. I cried all the way home trying to drive. I called around to the 24 hour emergency pet hospitals and finally was able to leave my little girl somewhere decent. Now I am home and the other girls are looking as lost as I feel. Even though I'm typing this I keep expecting to see her in her favorite spot near the bed. I can't stop crying and I don't know how I can sleep tonight without her there to purr me to sleep.
I miss her so much already and its only been a few hours. sad.gif
This is my first experience with this. sad.gif
Thanks for letting me get this off my chest.
