A sad day on the farm

We have been so blessed lately that tragedy has taken us especially off guard. My dear 8-year-old cat, Mi Mi, was found dead last night; we aren’t exactly sure what caused it.

Some loving memories of this superior pet… She drooled when petted. She had such amazing balance, I once found her walking the skinny plumbing pipes attached to our basement ceiling. If ever she saw a ladder, she couldn’t resist climbing it. She once scared my pet fish right out of the tank and more impressive, knocked my sister’s entire fish tank to the ground. She was instantly underfoot whenever the can opener came out. She saw me through my tumultuous twenties. She put up with some very pesky siblings, and finally figured out how to put them in their place. I sure will miss her midnight meows. I hope there is a happier place for cats.
