Willow in 2023
My beautiful, sweet, funny cat Willow was euthanized earlier this week after sharing 18 years of life with me.She came into my life as a homeless cat eking out a living on the streets and has now left my life having been a wonderful companion who was content to share my home (bossing me around a bit in the process :-)).
Here are a few pictures taken over the years:

Sleeping with her favourite toy (carrot) under a painting of her done by a very good friend. This is my last photo of her.
We had a very loving bond and I miss her terribly.

From a rough start to a long life with a loving, caring companion. That was your gift to her, and the bond you shared was her gift to you. She will live on in your memories.
ReplyDeleteThank you Didee for a beautiful comment.
DeleteAww, so sorry about that. I do know how it feels. We are coming up to a year, in September, I think. 18 is a long life although a few do live longer.
ReplyDeleteThank you Anvilcloud. I knew you would be able to empathize.
DeleteYou gave her a beautiful life. I am so sorry for your loss.
