This was my very first cat I adopted when I was four years old back in 1996. She was four months old (mistake in my journal about her) when we adopted her. She was very timid for a long time, but ultimately mellowed out as she got older and went outdoors away from my more energetic cats.

She lived to be 17 years of age before she passed away this morning after a day long illness. I am very thankful that she did not suffer, and that my mom was there for her until the very end.

This photo I took of her back in June of this year. She was sunning herself on the small concrete patio when I took this photo.
