Lulu, who was a street cat in Tlaquepaque came to live with me in 2002. A year later, Annie came and they became inseparable. Neither of them minded Frida when she came to live with us, but Diego was another matter, and when the neighbors started feeding her 5 years ago, Lulu decided to move in! Although I hadn’t seen her for four years, last year when the dogs were still at their dog sitter’s place when I came home from the beach, Lulu came for a visit one morning. I visited her for the last time last week. I’d been told she was failing. This morning, her new family took her to the vet and they decided to save her from further discomfort and to make her death as happy as her life. RIP dear little friend. You made all of us happy. It’s just today that you are making me a little bit sad.

Sad but it sounds like she had a good life.

I hear she had a really good cat fight just a week or two before her passing. Guess she went out fiesty!!! Hope that wasn’t the reason for her demise, however.

Losing a feline friend is hard; they have such large personalities.

Thanks, Jane. Strange that I should feel so sad when I hadn’t seen her for so long, but still. . .
