I know I've posted about Pippi a good bit, but I don't think I've posted about Rowdy, our other cat. She's a big fat white puffball with beautiful blue eyes... I wish I had a picture for you.
My dad just called letting me know she's doing very badly. She hadn't been feeling well and I knew this; I'd talked to my mom last night and she'd said Rowdy hadn't been eating well. But tonight I find out she'd been at the vet today... she has congestive heart failure and had fluid in her lungs. They're taking her home tomorrow so she can be somewhere comfortable. I don't know if I will get to see her again.
She was always a very special cat. Kind of strange and quiet... she didn't really meow much, but she made an odd chirring sound when she was younger. And she'd sit up like a meerkat, on her hind legs. My family had her since she was very tiny, probably just a few hours old. There were alley cats at the one place we lived, one of whom had a couple babies when she was practically still a kitten herself. One died, the other one lived. My mom raised her on kitten formula with an eyedropper. We never expected her to make it. That was thirteen and a half years ago.
