I swear she looked like a 500 lb woman walking on stilletto heels. Sooo funny!

My favorite kitty! She was 17 when she died. She came to me meowing one day for me to pick her up and hold her. I was on the computer, holding her like a baby and noticed her purring had stopped and her paws were getting cold. I held her for the longest time, then we wrapped her up in a cotton blanket and buried her along with her sister's ashes.
