My friend Max tangled with a car last night and the car won. She went quickly, probably didn’t know what hit her. I had always feared she would dart out in front of a car and it appears that is what happened. This was the last picture I took of her. Well it really wasn’t OF her but she was always there when I would take pictures so it was hard NOT to have her show up in every other one. I found myself looking for her today when I was working in the garden. She is buried between the butterfly bushes. I miss my friend.

Kerry,
Sorry to hear about Max; it’s amazing how attached we get to these little critters. I’m glad you had a nice spot to bury her… we’ve lost a couple of great garden cats over the years, and it’s comforting to know they had a good life, and they’re still there in the garden. Every once in a while I’ll still look for one of them; then I just walk up the hill and pat the rock they are buried under.

Sorry to hear about Max. I know exactly what you mean about looking up from gardening and expecting her to be there…then suddenly remembering why she isn’t. So sad.
I’m so sorry about your kitty.
These creatures really do grace our lives. No wonder we miss them. Thanks for sharing.
Oh dear. So sorry.
I still miss my old cat who died three years ago. I’m glad Max went quickly.
So sorry to hear about Max. Pets are such special beings.
Take care.
Thanks everyone for the kind words. I haven’t felt much like getting outside the last week. Max was always there following me where ever I went. Its just been the last day or two that I haven’t looked for her everytime I walked out the door. Its amazing how quickly the little ones can get in your heart.
I’m very sorry to hear about Max. Loosing a loved one is always heart wrenching.
