A cat simply named Blacky that has been in my family since 1990 has finally passed away. We had to have her put to sleep due to having a stroke on top of having cancer of the throat and being blind. But she stuck around for a long time. She was at least a year or two old when she broke into our house all those years ago. That's right, I said broke in. She was a stray that somehow managed to get inside the house and kept getting in. Usually in the closet that held the water heater and the cat food. We eventually let her just stay inside and be an indoor/outdoor cat.

She was a good cat.
