IT WAS THE MORNING AFTER THANKSGIVING WHEN WE WENT TO THE SHELTER IN SEARCH OF A KITTEN AFTER LOSING OUR FIRST CAT EARLIER IN THE MONTH. OUR SON NAMED HER CASEY AFTER A TOY ROBOT THAT WAS POPULAR AT THE TIME.
I WOULD CARRY HER AROUND THE HOUSE HOPING TO MAKE HER A “PEOPLE KITTY” AND MOST OF HER LIFE SHE WAS. FOR MANY YEARS HER FAVORITE PLACE TO SLEEP WAS ON MY LEGS AND SHE LOVED TO “HELP” MOM WHEN SHE WAS ON THE COMPUTER.
AT 18 1/2 CASEY HAD A KIDNEY INFECTION JUST BEFORE WE WERE LEAVING FOR A TRIP SO WE TOOK HER WITH US. AS USUAL SHE ADAPTED AND BECAME A PERMANANT TRAVELING COMPANION ALONG WITH OUR 2 DOGS AND 2 OF OUR OTHER CATS. CASEY WAS THE ONE WHO WOULD GREET VISITORS AND MAYBE SHARE HER SPOT ON THE COUCH WITH THEM. HER FAVORITE GAME IN OUR RV WAS TO WAIT UNTIL MY HUSBAND GOT UP AND MOVE TO HIS SPOT ON THE COUCH.
ON JULY 13, 2005 WE SENT CASEY TO THE BRIDGE TO JOIN HER BROTHER AND SISTER.
MISSING YOU, LOVE
