R.I.P. Nadine

Nadine del Sol, a photo by Black Pearl 10 on Flickr.

Our little cat Nadine died this morning, not unexpectedly. She was a venerable cat of unknown age; when we first got her we assumed she was still a kitten because of her size, but she never grew a lick. (She would have liked you to know that she was of perfectly average size for a female cat worldwide.) We had her for fifteen years. She was soft-spoken and subdued, but never shy and always affectionate. She put up with the wandering exploratory hands of two small toddlers with much grace and poise. She will be much missed.

I'm sorry to hear that Nadine's gone. She was a MOST patient old lady. *hugs*

Oh dear. I'm sorry to hear it, and glad you all had such a good run together.

Oh no! :(
I loved that tiny regal kitty.
I'm sorry, you guys. Losing a pet is hard, even when they are old and it is expected.

Rest in peace, Nadine! May your afterlife contain all your favorite treats, as well as lots of petting and proper kitty worship.

Love to your pantryslut, the lads and the kiddos.

I'm sorry you lost Nadine - it's always hard. How are the twins taking it?

[pantryslut.livejournal.com]

The twins are young enough that they haven't really noticed.

[warriorofworry.livejournal.com]

That's good, in a way.

Oh, I'm sorry. It's a tough week for cats. Jack's oldest cat, Izzy passed earlier this week. Hugs to you all.
