My cat, Sugar, died today. My mom was down to Texas from Oklahoma to celebrate my grandmothers 80th birthday for 3 days. Today she drove back and about an hour ago called me and told me the bad news. Apparently she died in her sleep. She was getting so thin and not eating and being a fat cat all her life it was obvious something was wrong. My dad found her on the street as a kitten and brought her home when I was 10. That cat and I became best friends fast. She was so sweet and followed me around like a puppy and would sit and purr on my lap for hours and sleep cuddled up right beside me.
She was 16 when she died so she lived a long time and had a happy pampered life, so I cant be too sad. I'm lucky I had to wait this long to lose a valued pet. I just wish I could have pet her one more time when I go up there for Christmas next week.
Anyway not asking for sympathy or attention just telling the tale of the best cat a guy could ask for. And I just ask you guys to be good to your pets they brighten our lives so much so value them while you can.
