It's Fierce Fighter Friday today, which is sponsored by Whiskers and Purrs. They asked "everyone to remember all of the Ones That Came Before and have bravely fought battles with cancer, FIP, diabetes, or any other struggle, and have now gone on to watch over us."
The One Who Came Before Me was Samantha. She lived with my family from 1990 until 2004. Samantha loved my Lap Lady and my Big Janitor very much. She did not like anyone else except my two-legged sister and her husband. Everyone else she hissed at and then ran away. My Lap Lady found me at her office when I was about 6 months old in February of 1997. Samantha was used to being an only cat and I always wanted her to love me. She was not very friendly to me most of the time but I kept trying to get close to her. In 2004 Samantha kept getting thinner and my Lap Lady and Big Janitor were very worried about her. This picture was taken on the last day that she was at home and she was with her very favorite mousie toy.
When she went to the Bridge I was about 8 years old and my Big Janitor kept saying that I needed a kitten. Willow came to live with us when my Lap Lady went to the Humane Society to get Samantha's ashes and found Willow there. She was only 6 week's old then. I was so happy to finally have a cat who loved me and I have always loved her as my very own kitten.
