...but not how we would have liked too. After nearly two weeks of searching I found That's body. It was lying next to an anthill. It had been quite decomposed so it was difficult to tell the cause of death. So she is no longer with us. I decided that we needed to give her a proper goodbye and immediately began making preparations for a memorial service. Here is a poster I made to remember her.
Not many people understand how special our cats are. That will be missed. Here are some photos that show a little of why we loved her so much!
Here she is loving on me. She was truly was a cuddle cat. When we first got That she was pretty skiddish. It took a couple of days for her to warm up to Lois, but took a lot longer for her to warm up to me. But once she did she never looked back. She showed the same kind of love for me as she did for Lois.
Her and This cuddled each other too! Sisters who love each other the way only a sister knows.
I made a coffin for her body, but the body was taken the night before the service! I also made a tombstone, a placard, and dug a grave.
It sucks that That is gone because now people won't quite understand why we have one cat named This. They'd say something like, "Wow! Your cat's name is This? Well that's weird!". We'd then say, "No, That's dead and she wasn't too weird." We'd then have to go on to explain that we had two cats that were sisters named This and That and so on.Well, that's that on That!
(You don't even know how confusing it was to write correctly)

Lois and Robert I am so sorry to hear about That. I know what you mean by how much your cats mean to you. Stormy is like another child to us. I would be devastated if we lost her. I am so sorry about That.
Oh sad! Our deepest condolences. :( Ben says that if someone gives you grief about having a cat named "This", then you should just punch him/her in the mouth. Also, the post was probably just as confusing to read aloud as it was to write! Haha. Good luck and hope This isn't too lonely with out that.
Sorry to hear about That. Mom told me ealier. She was my favorite. I'll miss her too.

I remember when Katie Marie was laughing hysterically at your two cats when we were over at your house once. They both sure were cute. Sorry about That. My family just lost the cat that I grew up with and used to sleep in my bed with me. My family thinks she knew she was going to die and so went off to die alone. That's what happened to my grandparents cat. Maybe that is what That was doing too. I would hate to think something traumatic happened to That.
So sad...I had two turtles named To and Fro...I had the same problem, the names just don't mean as much when they aren't together. Sorry for the loss.
lame! my eyes got all teary for you! I would be bawling if I found out my pet died...
