Today, my cat died after over 20 years of her being with me and my family. It's crazy to think about this. I knew her longer than any of my current friends. When we got her and her brother, I was still in elementary school and younger than 10, now I am married, have a job and live on my own.

We got her and her brother from a farm nearby. Someone from my school class lived there and told me they had kittens. Originally, we only wanted to get her, but then we decided to also take her brother. This was in May 2006.

In 2007, she gave birth to exactly one little kitten, which looked very similar to her.

In 2008, she got four more kittens. Biggest family at our house since then. (We gave away the small ones)

In 2022, her brother passed away and she started to become deaf. Yet, she was still around and very active.

By the beginning of this year, she started to become blind. My parents put her in a little cage, so she could find food, water, bed and toilet easier. Every day, someone took her out into the garden, where she would blindly walk around and enjoy the outside. Until the end, she was outside daily.

Last weekend, her condition became much worse and she had back pain so bad she was barely able to stand or walk. Today, she was put to sleep. I'll miss her but I'm mostly glad she lived a long and good life and that I was around for all of it.
