Goodbye My Mia...


Had to put down my beloved kitty on May 5th...well, she was 13 so I guess you couldn't say kitty. It was very sad. I probably should have done it a lot sooner, but I was selfish. She was my lap cat. Here are some things I will miss...

She would follow me around and wait for me to sit so she could sit on my lap or on my hip if I was laying down.
She would play fetch with a wad of paper. She would literally put the "ball" in her mouth and drop it at my feet.
She was my bug catcher. Flies didn't stand a chance in our house.
When you would say "Pretty Girl", she would roll around on her back and show off her belly. Oh, she knew.
When she was little, she would come into the bathroom to "socialize" and nibble on my toes. I literally had to wear socks or hide my toes from her.

We have two other cats, Ella and ZoeBelle. ZoeBelle is an outside cat (well, not anymore, will explain later). A friend of mine was taking care of Zoe and moved. She wanted to make sure she was taken care of so she dropped Zoe off at our house. Well, ZoeBelle adopted us and we fell in love with her. After much persuasion, we were able to bring her in the house on May 15th. ZoeBelle came into our lives about a week before Mia died and I feel it was meant to be. She is such a lovable cat. It has made things alot easier for me. I still miss Mia though.

Oh I am so sorry to hear about Mia. That is so sad. We have been on the edge of that with my Madison who is a little over 11. I love how your new cat came into your heart just in time:)
