In memory of Mitzi - also Mitty

We lost Mitty so recently after a few months' battle with kidney, thyroid & finally a tumour on her chin. She died 3 weeks short of her 14th birthday. I was nursing her after she suddenly collapsed, earlier still enjoying life in and out of doors. She came to us as a young rescue cat with her handsome ginger son Harry, who died at only 6. She'd survived as a stray with 2 litters but was so sweet & affectionate, though very street-wise. Later she shared her home with another female tortie, Millie who passed on only 3 weeks earlier. She had a cute ginger "Magic Paw". She learned to High-5 us with it, in return for strokes & fussing. She loved to lie on a sunny windowsill, or play with catnip fish, mice & fluff balls. She also loved to sit in a big cardboard box I labelled with her name. She had a clear meow, loud yowl and such a rich, warm purr. I miss her on my lap! She's now over Rainbow Bridge with Harry, Millie & other kittens. 🐈‍⬛🐾💐
