Inanna, 1995-2009

[catherineldf]

A kitty of indomitable spirit and great zest for life, she came into her own in later life. We adopted her as a kitten from our local animal shelter and brought her home to plague and eventually bond with our older cat. She was quite shy for the first ten years of her life but got braver as she got older. For the last three years, she was battling thyroid, heart and kidney problems but remained playful, enthusiastic about meeting new people and enjoyed exploring our yard. She died in my arms today on the way to the vet's. We'll miss you, little friend.

Surrounded by love all her life and at its end is a blessing. May her memory bring you smiles.

Oh, I'm so very sorry. Such little animals leave an enormous gaping hole in one's life when they go.

She was a beautiful cat, and such personality in that look!

I'm sorry for your loss. I'm sure you gave Inanna many happy years.

I am so, so sorry to hear of your loss. May your memories comfort you.

My condolences. It's hard when animals die, but then you think of all the joy and unconditional love they brought into your life. I really believe people who enjoy having animals live with them are richer for it.

I'm so sorry. I don't know you super well, but I suspect very strongly that she had a wonderful life with you. Maybe it's some consolation to know that she was so lucky that you adopted her and got to spend her years with awesome cat parents.

That is so difficult and stressful and just awful.

It's good you were able to hold her when she died, but oh god the awfulness.

oh, i'm so sorry. she was a good cat.

:(

every little soul matters
more than most people think;
it's much more common to get
unconditional love from a feline
than from humankind

glad she passed in your arms.
that's a good way to go.

Hugs to you and Janna! I hope she is in a better place. (Petting Ista, the furry Himalayan on my computer desk.)
