One day before I started 5th grade my parents decided to get me a cat and we got Ally when a couple couldn't keep her. So we took her in and called her "Nermal" and "Bug" and "Ally cat" and we loved her like she'd been with us for months.
Then a couple weeks later just before Christmas we found Ally was sick and had almost no chance of living. So we prayed and prayed Ally would get better but over two weeks we had to put her to sleep so she wouldn't die at home in pain, I will never forget the little black and white kitten that changed my life.
