but the fact that she's lived to be 16 shows that she's had great care and a great life.

Tabbies are the best, in my opinion! Great temperaments. Usually calm, stable, and sociable. I speak from having had two brown tabbies, and one orange one.

The other color with a very nice temperament is a short-haired black. I have worked with cats at a shelter for 4 1/2 years and have met hundreds of cats, so I know.

Remember the good times. She loves you.
