Eternal retirement

BooBoo Malone 11 Jul 94 - 05 May 08, so the record says.

From the moment she was born our cat was born into retirement. She was the cat that my wife bought at Animal Kingdom in Chicago, and it was me that BooBoo adopted shortly after we married. Even though we believe she is older she died short of her 14th Birthday. To us she was our cat and we pampered her alot. She always loved us, and sometimes we suspect that she actually understood us when we talked to her.

In her last years she fought to stay with us and moved to Seattle, and then again to Tacoma to enjoy bigger diggs. She slept, ate, moved around a little, and even pooped and peed when she needed to. She will be known to us by several nicknames we handed her over the years. Princess Dander, Iron paws; which was later changed to Heavy paws, and even known as Devil cat to a close friend of ours.

Her last moments were with family and she died peacefully the way a pet should go. We'll miss her dearly, but she will always be in our hearts from now on.

And to her, Good night. We love you BooBoo.
