I'm so sorry to hear about her passing.

I recall reading about her over the years and remember when you went to France and couldnt take her with you.

I have two fur babies of my own for the last couple years now. Well one only a few months now. And an older dog who sheds enough to make a new dog every month;)

First was Biggie Fluffy McPuddy Smalls(my daughter named him Biggie Smalls after some rapper)I later came up with the Fluffy McPuddy.

He responds(when he wants to;)to biggie, he was a runt as well and at a month and a half old could easily stand on the palm of my hand with room to spare.
Over time he has become very stocky, I dont believe he will ever be a big cat but he weighs more than most and it's not all fat;)

He also has just a nub of a tail that is crooked so you could actually hold onto(if he lets you)He seems much older than his two years and can be quite grumpy at times, but ever so loving at other times.
He gets along with Nibbler(Azrael McPuddy the Nibbler of Brownies)well enough when he's in the mood for her picking on him.

She is already so much bigger than Biggie was at that age and she will likely be much longer and taller than him.

Then there is poor Roxy a medium sized dog some kind of ridge back that gets along with both cats very well and even has biggie come up to her for Roxy to chew on her neck and back.

These furry beasts have helped me keep my sanity for sure and even though I have only had them a very brief time in comparison to how long you had Ophelia I will miss them greatly when they leave me.
