Alice the cat: Spring 1993 to 01/30/10

Those who have read my blogs know that my sweet cat, Alice, has recently struggled with cancer.

This morning we gave up the fight.

I've had this cat since I was 23 and she has been with me for every significant event in my adult life. She was very special. Even with two busy Corgis, the house feels painfully empty. I can't imagine walking into the bedroom without meeting her welcoming meows. Alice died as she lived, with grace and dignity, and not a single complaint.

Goodbye, my friend: My life is better for having shared a part of it with you. You will live on in my heart forever.

Your Alice looks just like Abigail who also showed up as a stary kitten in 1993 also.

While she has lived with my mother for the past few years - I still consider her part of the family.

I'm so sorry for your loss....

Oh, Beth I'm so sorry! I've been really busy and not on the site much and actually checked thinking of her, believe it or not. It is great that you had so many joyful years with her.

So sorry - they are so sweet and innocent - they give us everything they have and we ask for so little. I lost my Siamese after 20 years and miss him horribly so I know your pain.
