Spot Kitty

Today is a sad day.  We believe our beloved bad-ass cat of 19 yrs. (Spot) has passed away.  He's been gone since yesterday morning and was definitely in his final days.  Cats are so noble about their deaths, finding a secluded place away from everyone and everything.  We've searched high and low, but who knows where he went off to?  He had been slowly fading away for the past couple years, but had to remain faithful to his bad-ass old self and stuck around a longggg time.  His failing health really accelerated in the past couple weeks.  There's some serious history with this cat as he was one of the first gifts I gave my husband when we first started dating, back when I was only 20!   Yep, that would make me 39 now.  So, he's been with us our entire "together" lives.  And man, has he seen a lot of Cory and I growing up together.  It's crazy when I think back that far and how different, but the same, we both were and are.  We can also say that he was our first adoption since he was a rescue kitty found on a boat in San Diego.  Spot was the last remaining of our four animals that lived many years together (2 cats and 2 dogs).  Now we're onto a new era, with a new puppy and a new adopted baby on the way.  We treasure that chapter with you Spot kitty.  Thank you for all the wonderful memories!!!

Love, mom and dad
