The passing of Misty the Wondercat

4-14-2005

 

Misty the Wondercat, RIP

 

Misty the Wondercat passed away last night.  Old age caught up with her, and following several days of weakness she appeared to have a heart attack and was gone in a few minutes. 

 

During her prime years Misty was a fat, fluffy and loveable cat who brought new meanings to the concept of “feline energy conservation.”  Her nickname of the Wondercat was a result of Misty's superfeline efforts to avoid exerting energy whenever possible.

 

The focus of two attempted catnapping plots by various old girlfriends of her servant (after all, no one owns a cat, if anything they own you), Misty came to the Pirate household as a stray kitten and remained in the household throughout the rest of her life.

 

In 1995 Romeo the Cat retired from show business in Key West to become part of the Pirate household.  Upon meeting each other, Romeo and Misty were practically inseparable and would continue to be close friends throughout the rest of Misty’s life.  Misty assumed the role of household CIC (Cat in Charge) upon the passing of the legendary Momma Cat the following year.

 

In her final year of life Misty’s daily routine included a long nap beneath her favorite tree.  Misty was buried beneath that tree this morning, wrapped in her favorite blanket. 

 

Rest in peace, old girl.

Sorry to read of Misty's passing. I have 3 cats, and have always had cats, so I know how you feel.  I am sure she is resting peacefully beneath her tree.
