...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)
Kenya's deer in headlights pose!
Here Kenya spends some time with This, Daddy, and Baby Orajel!
These next few pics are of This and our car. We don't know why, but some of the animals around here seem obsessed with our car. When the ducks are out and about they often take naps under our car! If you look closely, This is winking for the camera in the first pic!
Here is a quick clip of Kenya giving Daddy a five!
This picture was taken today! Our littler girl is growing up. We have gotten several comments lately about how she seems to be changing. She is looking more grown up and her face is changing, but she still is the prettiest baby I have ever seen! Just last night grandma noticed that Kenya is doing patty cake all by herself. When she patty cakes, she even talks saying it in her own words with a similar tune. At the beginning of this last week she has started to wave hello and goodbye too! We will try to catch these amazing feats on video, but only babies and animals won't perform for the camera.
