In Memorium to Magita

Our petit cat Maggie (aka Magpie, Magi, Maga, Magita) died this week of heart failure. We had her for nearly 10 years. She was a rescue with trauma, found with a litter. She lived with a vet before we got her & had a love affair with a Siamese. As our first pet, marking the beginning of our little family, we were warned that she may never behave like a normal cat & was considered special needs. Yet she over came tremendous anxiety & fear of almost everyone & everything to become a graceful, secure & confident presence in our family. We think she was between 12-13. That's about 70 in cat years. She loved shoes, hiding under beds, & climbing on top of your chest to purr over your heart. She was a very sweet & magical soul. She was a great teacher to us, brought us so much love & laughter, made few demands, & taught us how to be better human beings. Heaven sent & so she returns. 🐾
