Beloved Cat

We lost another cat today. Alley was 8 years old and was diagnosed with Kidney Failure in August. We had been giving her IV fluids every couple of months which had been helping until this time. The fluids just didn't work and she was suffering.

We got Alley in July 2000. We adopted her from a shelter in Stanford, Kentucky. She was most likely born around the time Phil and I got married June 3, 2000. She was our little baby. When I came home from work I would yell Alley, Alley, AlleyB and she would come running. She loved to get in my lap and purr. At nighttime she would sleep on my pillow and on me when I would let her. Addison has really grown fond of her saying her name often. She also refers to other cats as Alley. So I am sure we will hear her talk about Alley for quite sometime.

It is so hard to lose a pet. She has been a wonderful companion.
