Unfortunately, white kitty was laid to rest yesterday under a tree.
We were able to bury her just before the rain started, which is a sign from God.

We spent a week trying to save her, but there was no hope, and she was continuing to get worse by the day. I had to tube feed her every few hours, and she took $1200 in medicine for no results. About $3k I put in. She saw 3 doctors and an emergency animal hospital for 2 days. Each day, she was just getting worse. She wasn’t able to sleep anymore and couldn’t eat or even sit comfortably. Ultimately, they couldn’t find what was wrong besides liver failure. The next thing they wanted was $5,000-$6,900 without any clue if it would have worked since they never found the base cause. liver failure, cancer, not sure.

We had 6 days to wrap our heads around saying goodbye and spend time with her. She’d still sleep on people each night. But she was just in either bed all day for days and wouldn’t even come out to the living room anymore.

Her last day was a somewhat happy day for her as she purred and enjoyed the outside air and some grass on a lawn. We all got to say goodbye, and it was the saddest day ever because you knew it was the last day. Now we have to deal with her being gone.

I’ve had tons of cats, and bunnies, and this is the ONE cat that I wanted to hang onto forever. Each day I’d pray thank you to God for another day with her and ask for more time. There was even an article about something in Korea they’ve invented to extend pet’s life we had hoped to somehow get someday.

The last 15 months with just me in the kids, she helped us through that. She’s the loving, caring mom to us that we wanted.

I spent months picking this cat out on the shelter website in 2015. After our previous cat got out and was killed by a coyote.
When I saw her on the webpage, I said Ethan This is the one and we went to get her.

She had the most beautiful blue eyes. She’s white in the dark but in the sun has beautiful orange stripes and orange eye makeup.

People tried to give her names, but she was just Kitty or White Kitty. Anytime you’d say “kitty” she’d wag her tail one time.

I love this cat so much that I write entire giant posts about her. I haven’t been at home a single day without her in 10.6 years, and the only time I’m away is on trips. I watch her on the cameras when I’m gone.

I cannot imagine life without her. I keep walking by either bedroom to see her and she’s not there anymore. It’s unthinkable. She’s an equal family member. She helped us through COVID where we had to work and do school at home every day. She helped us through every day. We’d always go back to the bedrooms to visit her, or she’d come out and sit on the couch.

I joked I’d leave all my money to this cat, and anyone who wanted a piece would have to take care of her.

We were hoping to get our house cleaned up then make her internet famous because she’s so unique.

She chose my son as her #1, and when he wasn’t around, she chose me. She LOVED my son and always wanted to be on his bed. When she wanted out of the room, she’s started ripping things until she’d be let out, then want back in after food or the bathroom. When she couldn’t get into Ethan’s room, she’d sit outside his door waiting for him to go to the bathroom or for him to open the door. It was the cutest thing ever. I really feel bad for him the most because of their unique bond. The last two nights I let her sleep with him. He’d come in and ask to take her from my bed to his bed and we’d fight about who gets her. 🙂

At 2 to 3am she’d go get a pretend mouse then meow up and down the hall letting us know she had one, and drop it in front of Ethan’s door as tribute. One day she brought him 5. 5 trips
She’d even bring one as payment to be let into his door.

She wanted to know what people’s breath smelled like or what we ate so she’d ask us to open our mouth then lean in without touching to smell and we’d help her. So cute.

I had a challenge to get both white kitty and black kitty to purr at the same time, and I did it a few times but it was hard to do

She hated the 2 girl’s in our family at first but then came around and loved them l. She definitely preferred men.

When my daughter would sit on the couch she’d reach over and put a paw or leg on her

When I was done with a nose surgery, she sat on me all week in bed while I recovered. When I was alone, she’d find me and come snuggle. Being all alone, then hearing her jump up to see me was the happiest thing. I love my black cat, and he loves me, but this one actually would snuggle you.

Sometimes she’d be super annoying, wanting inside or outside or stealing food or ripping up people’s clothes or curtains. She actually learned how to open a door in the last few months. She ripped up my son’s new rare jacket he brought from Japan. She had no idea how to use a litter box and you’d have to help her cover things up, but all of that was worth it. Whatever negatives, the positives were way more. I told her I’m sorry for ever yelling at her.

She wouldn’t let you hold her and would get mad if you tried to even set her somewhere and pet her but if she was sitting where she wanted to sit she’d let you pet her. Even a few weeks ago, I was excited to get her to sit on my lap on the computer for 10 mins.

I’m happy that I did the catio because some of the days I’d see her outside on a pad in the sun, enjoying the sun. I’m happy she got 15 months of a cleared-out house where she could run around. For a while, she and black kitty or her and Bandit (11-month kitten) would run up and down the hall, enjoying themselves, which they couldn’t do in previous years.

She loved sitting on anything white, just like her. As I look around the house whenever I see anything white, or even a white grocery bag, I think it’s her.

In 2022, my daughter and I built a whole cat shelf system to lead cats to her bed but only white kitty actually used it. But she was the one who used it. When all the kittens visited in August, she used the shelves to sit on my daughter’s bed to hide from all the cats.

It’s absolutely impossible to get such a rare-looking (female siamese flamepoint), beautiful cat that was also such a wonderful cat.

She loved it when people would wash their hair and go crazy and rub her head against the wet hair, and bite the hair to “remark” her territory.

She’d eat weird things like tomatoes, bananas. She’d kill you for chicken or turkey. If you left your plate alone, she’d steal from your plate. She’d jump on the counter and drag off meat off the counter and try to get away with it. She’d go into predator mode and try to steal the food she wanted.

My message to you is enjoy the time you have with your pets or, more importantly, people, because you never know how much time you have.

We are so happy for the time we got to spend with her.
We really hope to see her again in Heaven someday.
