Its been quite a few days now since returning home and finding Mimo dead in the road. I have only just been able to write anything at all about her. Yet I have now reached the point were I can celebrate her life and be greatful it was spent with us.
When she was given to us , she was quite ferrel and there was lots of spitting involved, but slowly we gained her trust.
I have never known a cat enjoy play fighting as much as she did, and everyday was a new adventure for her and us.
Everywhere we went in the house or garden she would leap out at us from some hiding place. Her mock attack with ears back and tail fluffed out was pure fun, and now that has gone the house and garden feels empty of fun and adventure. I am sure we will have other cats maybe not here as the road is too dangerous, but we will never meet another Mimo, thats for sure.
Hi Lazlo. I am so sorry about Mimo, and your post made me cry again. In her short life she had a lifetime of adventures. She was the most stunning cat both in personality and looks and I know how much she will be missed. xxx
I have been thinking about Mimo since I read Deb’s little obituary on her. Even found myself saying her name out of the blue. Even not knowing such a charming little darling – I have been touched by her death and by your loss.
Why does the world have to be this way?
I must go again – and hug my cat -
Just popped in to see what’s going on…….Sorry to hear your news.
I dont know about you, but things we would once have shrugged off relatively quickly seem to hang around us a bit more as we progress in years….take care
Mimo was your special cat. I had a special cat once and although she died in my arms some years ago, I still think of her almost daily and miss her. She taught me so much and I am not ashamed to say I loved her and still do.
I hope your happy memories of Mimo will continue to comfort you.
