Losing Fluffy (1995-2012)

We had to put our 17 year old cat Fluffy down today as she's in complete kidney failure.  She's had a great life, we got her and Chocolate in 1995 and have had so much fun.

She liked watching the mouse on the screen, sometimes jumping up to catch it!

 We always snuggled together in bed on the weekends, she used to crawl down to the foot of the bed and would attack my toes.
 Her favorite spot to get scratched was right under her neck on the white patch, guaranteed to get a purr.
 "Forget the book, pay attention to me!"
 She would sit up on her post observing the activity in the family room and kitchen
 Any warm body was a perfect place to take a nap
 She was a fan of boxes, and wanted to come back to JMU with me
 She even warmed up to Gma as she got older (Fluffy, not Gma)
 When she was little she was scared of going outside, but eventually she began going outside more, stalking bugs in the garden and sitting among the flowers
 Lap cat, err, arm cat?

 Playing with her worm toy, Christmas 2011
Found a warm spot on Alex, now getting scratched and loving it

Watching TV with Alex
Sleeping on her last day, she was having trouble walking and eating :-(

We love you lots Fluffy and hope that there are lots of mice to chase, tunafish, cantaloupe, and comfy cushions and warm bodies to snuggle with.  I'm sorry I couldn't be there for the end.  Know that I love you and will miss you!
