In Fond Memory - RIP Miss Mew

It's actually almost 1:30am on Sunday morning now, but yesterday Mum and I had to do a very hard thing. We had to take our dear little Miss Mew (Missy) and send her to kitty heaven. Missy lived to be 16 years old and she did not give us one single ounce of trouble or health issues. The last couple of weeks we noticed she was starting to lose alot of weight and she was losing the strength in her hind legs. During the last couple of evenings she had no balance, and could barely walk. She never ate for a couple days and was just taking a bit of water from time to time. It has not been an easy day. It is a bit strange not to see her in my Mum's place (my basement apartment).

She will be deeply missed. We got to spend her last moments with her before she was put to sleep. Mum and I cried and cried when we were with her. It was so hard to leave her there afterwards. We made sure she was wrapped up safely in her little quilt Mum made her years ago. I am crying now writing this cause she was such a wonderful puddy cat. She was our official quilt inspection and always gave us her "paw of approval".



Tonight Mum and I tried to keep ourselves busy and our minds active by doing some sewing and quilting. Missy loved to sit with Mum or I while we quilted in our sewing rooms. I did manage to get 2 sets of placemats quilted and the binding on, well by machine. I still have to slip stitch the other sides. I am keeping the dark pumpkin/rooster set, and the other set is for a customer.



The sewing did help a bit tonight and kept our minds busy. We did talk about her while we sewed and all the good memories she shared with us. Alexi also kept us company and tried to do some quilt inspecting of her own with a tree skirt being prepped for machine quilting.



Tonight's blog post is devoted to our little girlie girl Missy. For those of you who have those special furry friends in your life, hold them tight to you and show them love every single day. You never know what may happen tomorrow. Our legged family members worm their way into our hearts so very easily and it is soooo hard and tough to let them go.

Missy would inspect our quilts top to bottom as well as underneath to be sure all our seams were the correct size




She loved a good sun beam


I hope to bring better news on my next posting. I just needed to do this tonight.

I wanted to share this special little ball of fur with you all.

Quiltingly Yours
