Maggie, My Loving Cat
I adopted Maggie after her owner had died. She was an indoor-outdoor cat. Maggie started as an outdoor cat on my farm. She was very loving and affectionate and would follow me all over the farm. She got along fine with my other cats, and they also seemed to like her. She had fresh water to drink every morning and a heated cat bed to sleep in in the winter months. She would get canned cat food, and extra cat treats in the winter.
Maggie By My Side
If I were working in the garden, Maggie would lie on the rows so she could see that I planted my garden seeds on the row. If she noticed me digging in the garden, she would also. She would lay on the garden seed packets for me so they would not blow away on windy days. She would watch me mow my yard and move my snow in the winter. If I lay in my hammock, she would lay underneath me or curl up on my lap for a while. One time outdoors, she caught a Blue Jay, and I told her to let go of it, and she did immediately, and the Blue Jay flew away unharmed.
Maggie Was An Excellent Huntress
She was very good at ridding the farm of mice and gophers. She was quick and agile, and the mice did not stand a chance. One time she caught a rabbit and shared it with the other outdoor cats. I would see her walk to the field early in the morning, and she would generally come home with a mouse in her mouth. Maggie would crunch low in the ditches and catch a few mice there.
Maggie Has Relatives In My Other House
As Maggie grew older and thinner, I put her in my heated house next door. She had three other cats I adopted to keep her company. Maggie loved to sleep in the heated windowsill cat bed or a bed with her sister. She enjoyed catnip mice and singing bird cat toys. She liked the hammock cat beds with the scratching post as she had all her claws. Her sister had gotten pregnant with my outdoor cat Onyx, and she had three kittens that lived. Her son Peter got my cat Addi pregnant, and she had five kittens. I gave two of her kittens to a loving home and saw pictures of them on Facebook. Nicole and Conrad are Peters’s sister and brother. Conrad is one of my house cats. Addi’s grown kittens are Mr. Gray, Sherlock, and Hilford.
Maggie In Her Golden Years
Maggie was plump until she was about ten and kept losing weight. I took her to my Vet for a blood test and to check for cancer, and all of her tests returned fine. She would eat all of her food, and she drank her water. She continued to hold her own. The last time I took her to my Vet, she had lost more weight. Maggie enjoyed scrambled eggs, tuna canned water, cat snacks, and cat food. In the last week, Maggie’s hair was thinning out, and she had mates of loose hair and has lost more weight. I am taking her to my Vet early Monday morning to have her put to sleep. Maggie was almost fourteen years old. I cannot stand to see a Dear pet cat suffer. She will be in heaven with her cat relatives that have gone on before her. She was a Dear and loving cat that was always by my side. I will miss Maggie Dearly, but I know she is in God’s loving arms now.
