Skye, 1994?-2009

[netpositive]

She was an old lady even when she was young.

She was born cranky, and she always wanted to be an only cat. But she got used to us over time (if still barely tolerating the other cats) and slowly she figured out it was all right for her to get on our beds, and to enjoy petting.

Her favorite meal was chicken. Though turkey, beef, salmon, lamb vindaloo, etc. were all okay with her too. As was gooshy food of all types. As were crunchy treats. But her favorite was chicken.

*pause*

I regret to inform you that the Dowager Empress Skye has taken her leave now, in search of new socks to slay.

Her last meal was chicken.

Condolences from the former keeper of another lifelong cranky old lady cat, who also lived to a ripe old age. Even the cranky ones get wrapped around our hearts.

I wish her well on the next stage of her journey, and hugs to you.

Thanks. We're sending a sock, a flap from a Popeye's chicken box, and a little note of love along with her. As long as there's chicken on her path, she'll be good.

Thanks. When we took her in, we guessed she was about 4 years old, and she'd apparently been bounced from more than one household so she was reluctant to trust us. Ten years later, she'd progressed to patting our arms if she wanted attention (well, or chicken). I think there was wrapping on both sides. :..)
