My Cousins Cat Died At Age 23

I Gave Her To My Cousin As a Kitten

She was born on my farm. Her Mother was part Siamese, Himalayan, and domestic short – hair. Her Mother lived to be 18 years old. Her Mother was an excellent huntress; she killed many mice and gophers in her lifetime. My cousin’s cat was also an excellent huntress. Her Mother looked five times in each direction before she would cross the road. Luckily, my cousin’s cat lived next to a hectic Hi-Way, and she remembered the crossing-the-road skills she had taught her Mother. My cousin found her dead in the cat building. It is unfortunate to lose a cat you have had for 23 years as they are part of your family.

She Was An Excellent Mother Cat

She never lost her kittens when she took them hunting with her. All of her kittens were nursed and loved by her, and none of them died shortly after they were born as she attended to their every need. Some of her kittens in later years were killed on the busy Hi-Way. My cousin has one of her daughters and two Grandchildren from her. They are very active, and excellent hunters like their Mother was. Her children are always on the move, just like she was. My cousin cared for her, and he loved her dearly. My cousin’s cat lived to be 23 because she was always active and on the move in search of mice or other Vermont. She never sat still in her old age and seemed to enjoy life and all it had to offer. She left an incredible legacy as she was a very kind and loving cat, and she lives on through her and her children’s children. My cousin’s cat that died is the cat in the back of the picture with her daughter and grandson.

 

We Buried Her On My Cousins’ Farm

I had a large Styrofoam box that we buried her in, and she was wrapped in a coat. We had to bury her in a building on his farm with a dirt floor since all the other ground was completely frozen. She is buried on the farm she loves and loves hunting on. She will be greatly missed, as she was such a wonderful cat. She brought much joy to my cousin over the years. I said a prayer for her after I buried her. I thanked God for letting him have her in my cousin’s life as she brought much joy and love into my cousins life. I asked God to care for her in his loving arms at her death. I thanked God for the beautiful legacy she left behind. May she find a happy home in your loving embrace? As we remember her may we love each other more dearly. She has a beautiful tombstone for her grave marker. The marker has a cat on it with angels’ wings, and it mentions our genuine friendship with our dearly loved cats and us. The bond between pets and humans can never be broken or lost, as it remains in our hearts and soul forever.
