RIP Courtney puss

[Roberta]

My beautiful Courtney died last night aged 14.

She was a very loving little cat. When the children were babies if they woke and cried she'd run up the stairs before me so that by the time I got there they would be cooing at her as she sat next to them. I used to call her Nanny then.

When people ask why I chose her I always tell them when I was shown the litter one little skinny kitten tottered over to me as if she knew me and that she chose me instead.

She was diagnosed as in kidney failure a few months back and was on tablets to keep her happy, and she was. I was lucky to have those extra few months with her.

She went out for a walk yesterday and died suddenly in a neighbours garden. It was very quick and she looked very peaceful.

I love you little Courtney puss and I'm very honoured you chose me to look after you. I only hope I did you justice.



I am not looking for sympathy here but I want the whole world to know what a damn good cat she was.
