She just died tonight. The thread about it is here:
//www.city-data.com/forum/cats/...o-blondie.html
I just wish you could have known her. I wish you could have heard her soft, little meows. I used to kid with her about her "pathetic meows". They were so delicate, so soft. God she was such a sweet girl.
As I said in the other thread, I used to call her Blondie Snacks. I would sing the tune from the Cracker Jacks song to her.
"Caramel coated Blondie Snacks!" and then I would say, in the highest pitched voice I could, "When you're really cute, they call you Blondie Snacks."
I don't care if people think that's annoying, she LOVED it.
Such a sweet girl. So kind. So soft. So affectionate. She would follow me around and talk to me, with her little pathetic meows. Barely even a real meow, they were so soft and little.
When I would pet her, for the first years of her life, she would slink as low to the ground as she could when being petted as if she couldn't stand it. But she always begged for more so she did like it. Only this last year or so did she start bonking her little head in to my hand. She always walked around with her tail straight up in the air, just as happy as she could be. Such a happy cat, she was always so happy.
She was so funny, too. Always so funny, and so patient with me. So trusting. I took this photo as a joke. Of course the stove was not on. She was in there long enough for me to snap a photo and then off again, but it illustrates how so patient and trusting she was with me:
I have had her since she was born. I had rescued her mom. Her mom was ready to have kittens by the time I did rescue the mom and Blondie was one of the kittens. Here is Blondie with her mom:
I saw Blondie as she was being born. I saw her in her first few moments of life. And, unfortunately, tonight I saw her in her last few moments of life. She was 5.
I don't want to talk about how she died, read the other thread...it's too upsetting. I just want to remember her....how much I loved this little cat, and how wonderful and goofy she was.
God...I miss her so much already. I don't know what I believe in, but I hope with everything that I have that we will be reunited with our little pets again, someday. I want to hold my little Blondie again. I want to hear her little purrs...and most especially, I want to hear that pathetic little meow.
I can't believe I'm typing this post. I thought I had several more years before I ever had to make a post here. I cannot believe this just happened.
