Sophie

This post may seem a little lame or "hick", but I felt the need for this post. This post is about our cat Sophie. She was so much a part of our family. She was like the fifth child in the house. She got real sick a couple days ago and did not make it. She died last night. You wouldn't think an animal would mean so much, but she did. I am very sad right now and she will be greatly missed.
This was when she was little.

She took to the kids right away. She was definately a people, and especially a kid cat.


This was this past Valentines Day. She found the roses before I did and loved smelling them, she couldn't keep her head out of them (she did not eat them!). She always had her nose into everything!
This was just this past month. She had such a sweet face! I loved those big ears and big nose!
Sophie had become real close with Maddie. The two of them could not leave each other alone!

This was at Christmas. She was right in there with the rest of the kids.

This was the Christmas before. She loved wrapping paper. She was the friendliest cat ever. Everyone wanted to take her home with them. I had a couple offers if I ever needed to find her a home. There was no way I was giving her up!

She was a sweet kitty :). I'm sure she's in little kitty heaven right now! In a way, I'm glad she passed so quickly and didn't have to suffer through being sick for so long, but she will be missed. If you are ever in need of another cat, let me know. I have a sweet kitten who would love to have a home :)

When I first started reading your post and saw that it was in past tense I was hoping that it wasn't going to end the way I thought. I am so sorry! She was such a sweet kitty and so good with all of the kids. She was a beautiful cat and I know how much she meant to you guys. We are sending our love!

I can totally relate (ask Katy) and it really really sucks! Good that you have those pictures of her tho. Those will help. I still miss my Sunday...and it's been a year! I know I'm not much help but maybe cause I've been there and felt the same way somehow that helps...I don't know. Sorry...

Heidi,
I'm sorry to hear your kitty. I know it is very sad to lose a little friend like that. I'm glad you have the photos and stories to remember her.
