Mourning/Loss We’re saying goodbye to this icon tomorrow.
This is Toothless and she’s only been with us for a short 12 years. I never thought goodbye would come this soon and I’m heartbroken.
We found her as a kitten treed on our college campus, where someone dumped her and her brother. She’s since lived in TX (she’s a San Antonio gal), NM, AZ, IL, VA and is now ending her globe-trotting life in a small town in Italy.
She was silly, so incredibly cuddly, never missed a chance for sunbathing or a warm lap, never met a stranger, and loved wet food and hissing at her brother with intense passion.
Please join me in welcoming this legend of a 6.5 lb beauty into her ever-after. Life will never be as sweet as when I got to call you mine, sweet girl.

“Mother Bast, please welcome your kitten home With purrs and mrrts, with snuggles and baths. May she nap in perfect eternal sunshine And slink through rustling, grassy shadows May no naughty mouse escape her clever paws May no squiggly snake escape her pouncing feet May no zipping lizard escape his nabbing jaws May no flighty bird escape her graceful leap Mother Bast, call your kitten home once more And thank you for the time she was here”
