After Nearly 10 years of having a spoiled rotten cat, we had to put our
cat Special to rest. We rescued her in 2003 from running around the
neighborhood half starving. She was a deaf and declawed cat that belonged
to an old lady, but the lady past away and her son did not care to catch
the cat and take it to someone who would care for her. We moved into
the little house this old lady lived in and we started to see this very
skinny white cat running around. Amanda started feeding it and got to
hold her and pet her, but only outside. Then we started getting her to
eat indoors but she wanted to leave after she ate so we let her. Our
neighbor at the time thought she wanted her and when she moved away she
took Special with her. But little did she know the deaf cat would meow
so loud you can hear her four houses down. Well the lady could not stand
the meows so she abandoned her at the old house and went her merry way.
We were so happy to see Special again. When we moved we took Special
with us and it took a week to get her to stop meowing so god damn loud.
We turned her from an outside starving cat to a health indoor cat with
no regrets. We moved tons more and each and every time she would meow
real loud. Finally 8 and a half years later from finding her we returned
to her old neighborhood to help out my mother, Special came back to a
familiar place. We started letting her outside under supervision and
then we started just letting her out unsupervised. She would walk into
our front yard find a place to sleep and she would stay outside and when
she was ready or when it was getting late she would come in by herself
or we would have to get her. She found a spot were she loved to sleep so
when it came to down to her last day we put her to rest in her favorite
spot.
We loved her and we will miss her she was a cat not like any other. She lived a spoiled life with us and now she is no longer in pain.
She would put up with all kinds of crap from us and not fight or bite
us. When she would sleep next to me I would bounce her butt up and down
and she would never stir. Not even a child age 2 to the age of 5 would
bother her.
The pictures below shows her in her favorite indoor spot, my side of the bed.
We buried her in her favorite outdoor spot in the front yard. She is now resting under our Juniper tree right between a Jasmine plant and a Bougainvillea bush.
