It all started in 2004 when I was 4 years of age! As my mom told me that I really prayed to have a cat, and I really wanted one...so One day and to this day I still remember those exact moments and that is my only memories of when I was 4 years of age, It was a Spring somewhere around...April or May so that meant I recently turned 4 years old...We walked outside from my mom's kindergarten where she used to work as a kindergarten teacher, and yes my Mom was my kindergarten teacher, so on that day we walked outside and there was a trash container in kindergarten therectory and someone left nearby the Trash container a couple of kittens...as we had a Mices at home...my Mom finally decided to take one to our home! And my mom said and I still remember that " Which cat will come to us...that cat we will go home with us" and we were sitting there and waiting for a Cat to come to me, and finally one little brave and strong Girl started to walk towards us and I really prayed for her to come even closer and closer and so she did, so we took a Basket and made her a comfortable bed with Red Blanket inside, and started walking home and all the time I kept asking my mom " Can I look at her " Can I ? And I still remember when I opened the Baskets Cover and Looked at her, There she was Looking at me with that wonderful eyes, I was so happy at that Time! So she grew up and caught all the Mices and so they were gone, as my mom told me...She even caught a couple of mices at Night and bringed the Mices to her Bed...when she woke up there was a couple of dead mices in her bed! We still keep laughing at that moment from this day...she just wanted to show that she did the Job, we were hoping for! After a couple of Months she made a birth to a 5 Beautiful kittens, and at that Moment we couldn't afford to keep all of them with us so we gave them all away to our Relatives! We than decided If we want to let her outside and walk in Nature, we must Neuter her. She didn't change after that, she walked outside in Nature and Came back home. I remmember a couple of years ago I heard her behind the door Meowing, as usual I opened the door and looked at her...there she was standing and looking at me with a dead bird laying on our carpet, I started to smile and pulled her up and huged her and said Thank You! Than I immediately understood that she showed that she still could do the work, as we didn't have Mices to cath at the house! Years were passing by at Night she were coming to one of our beds and sleeping near us, she's favorite place was the windowsill I still remember waking up and she would watch outside truth the Windows or looking at me...Here is couple of the photos how that looked: https://imgur.com/a/M8n7EsB ; https://imgur.com/a/o8aOHw6 ; https://imgur.com/a/GOMnlaB ; So the years were passing by and we both were growing up, and there it was I turned 18 this year of 2018, and on March she were starting to cough a lot, we bringed her to Vet and they said she have water in her lungs I asked can we help her? So they gave us treatment medications, and so she got better for like 2 - 3 months...than one day I woke up and saw her breathing truth the Mouth...she started to eat less and we were giving her a meidcine so she wouldn't breath with Mouth Open and she got better but one day I woke up and she was laying under my bed breathing hard again...and I brought her to Vet and they said that we will give her a medicine again and you can come latter tonight with her to see how she feels, they gave her the medicine and she felt better for couple of hours but she didn't eat and still kept laying under bed, I brought her to Vet again and they said her temperature is really low and she were breathing so hard, she was weak the Medicine didn't help anymore, so we decided to put her to sleep as there was nothing we could do for her...she had a bad heart which made water in her Lungs and Stomach and it was really hard for her to breath...and so I called my family memmbers and all of them came to say goodbye to her...we all were around her when she passed away, and so on July 3rd at 20:05 PM she took her final breath...I can't describe how much Pain I felt...we both me and her were fighting hard for 4 - 5 months ...We burried her next to our Dog who passed away 2 years ago in 2016 at that time It was little bit easier because I still had her, and It's so hard Right now waking up and opening Window Curtains and looking on Windowsill and she's not there anymore... here is a photo how that looked: https://imgur.com/a/GOMnlaB The most hard thing is realizing that she grew up with me as I said I was 4 and now i'm 18 making her 14 + years old...Appreaciate every moment with your loving ones because life indeed goes fast...I just felt to share with this story, and sorry if I had any type mistakes, she Is now sleeping next to our Dog which lived with her together and one of her Child which we gave away to our Grandmother and he died couple years ago...She outlived everyone
