Mittens in her favorite spot under the Christmas tree
My sweet Mittens passed away on Tuesday, April 12, 2011. I have had her since I was 3, a total of 17 years. We adopted her from a shelter after she had been abused. Mittens was such a sweet cat and she was with me through every difficult time I faced. I know how much she loved me, too.
I was able to video-chat her the night before she passed away and I know she was waiting for me to tell her it was ok. She lived a long healthy life up until the last week of her life. She went in her sleep and I am so happy that she was able to go in peace.
Mittens, you were the sweetest cat and I am so happy you were able to share your life with me. I love you so much, Mitts and I will always love you.
