The oldest of my little tribe of felines died last night. I bought JoJo with the first paycheque I ever earned. She gave me lots of things. Among them, companionship, support, and Dante (every witch needs a black cat).
Before anyone asks what happened, she was 17. She died of old age. Yesterday morning I noticed her gait was starting to fail, and by 8pm this evening she'd passed away. She was buried in the front garden this morning.
I sent prayers to the Lord and Lady asking for them to speed her to whatever resting place she belongs to, and thanked her for being a true friend. I'm a little too in shock at this point to really process what it all means. But when she passed, I gave all my furkids a big hug and told them I loved them. Dante seemed a little awkward. He was aloof even by his standards, and Morgan seems all mopey now that he has lost his 'Great Adversary' (Jo and Morgan used to fight all the time).
I know her and D are old, but I never thought the day would come anytime soon when I would be burying either of them. She was always more spry than him, and had that confident cool that only certain people (four or two legged) can master.
I'll always miss you Jo.
