Here's Why Calico Cats Are the Coolest – Meowingtons

Fur Angels

 
She was old, very old, frail and weak but still beautiful, I recall holding her as a new born kitten; so delightful to watch her play and do silly things, growing up to be so graceful in her movements. Always a lover of cuddling, purring even at twenty; I held her until her last breath and then for hours.
