Early mornings have been chilly lately, so today we fired up the fireplace. I couldn't help but notice that Minnie wasn't there to stretch out in front of it. Punk liked to lay in front of it, too, but Minnie always seemed to think that all she had to do was look at it, and it would magically turn on!
Minnie passed away this past August. Poor little girl was 18, and although she was becoming more and more frail in the last year, she seemed to really go down hill fast over just a couple of weeks. It was so sad to watch her not eat, and to have trouble walking, so we made the decision to take her in to the vet.
She was a favorite, for sure, and it was good that all the kids were able to see her to say their last goodbye. We had adopted Minnie from the orphanage (Animal Humane Society) in the summer of 2005, and she wanted to go home with us so badly. She really put on the charm! She especially loved men and would choose their laps to sit on first. She was a beautiful calico cat.
The house became even more quiet after Minnie was gone. Twist noticed it, too, and has become more verbal and affectionate. I'm thinking that maybe it's his turn to be Top Cat now, and have the opportunity to shine and get all the attention. I'm grateful we still have him in the house.
Rest in peace, little Minnie Mouse. 💜
