Mimi: 10 January 2004 - 16 February 2009


Mimi was put to sleep today after a short but serious deterioration in her condition, The vet believes that she may have had a teratoma in her brain. She may not have lived as long as other cats with Cerebellar Hypoplasia but she had a happy life and was much loved. We will miss her terribly

    My condolences, Jams.

    I will personally miss her look of absolute wonderment on my screen. She was a unique personality, even among cats.

    I'm sure there will be cheese at the Bridge.

  16. Jams I am so sorry.

    This is one of the hardest things to do, as I know full well, having done it twice. But you know if your vet advises it, it is the right thing to do. I am sure the other cats will miss her too.

  17. Jimmy, Kay, Bryan, jmb. THanks for your kind thoughts. It seems strange to come downstairs and not have a hyperactive cat toddling around and getting underfoot as you try to feed them. I'm sure there is more cheese than she can eat at the bridge Bryan... and that is a LOT of cheese!

  18. jams, I'm so very, very sorry. Mimi was a dear cat, and I know you miss her more than words can express. For those of us owned by a cat, saying goodbye is the hardest thing we ever have to do, especially if we have to decide it's time. All you can do is be grateful for the time you had with Mimi. We'll all be thinking of her... and of you.

  32. Jams,
    I found out about this sad news over at Beak's site.

    I offer you my sincerest condolences.

    As you know, I'm a real cat lover.

    We lost our old girl Sheba on December 1st. Mr. AOW and I miss her every day, though her last few years were a lot of "trouble" for us -- special food, litter pan issues, night howlings, feline Alzheimer's, etc. But, really, the trouble was no trouble; I'm sure you know what I mean.

  33. THanks everyone for your kind thoughts. It is a big wrench AOW. The trouble was definitely no trouble at all. We would give anything for her to still be crapping in the living room!

  37. Thanks Roman. I think she was one of the most pampered pets on the planet!

  38. Ah, Jams, I came here whenyou had just posted and there were no comments, and didn't know what to write. Words are sometimes so empty.
    However, I thought and still hope that Mimis 'new environment' will contain of a lovely fire-place and all the cheese she's ever been dreaming of.
    Well, and as for you, I hope that your sadness will soon be mildened by this and that little smile when this and that little episode comes to your mind.
