I first met her when she was an hour old as my friend owned her mother & she was an ugly kitten who grew into a very beautiful cat.

Monet & her brother George aged 5 weeks
She was initially wary of my previous Airedale Terrier Libby but grew to love her & adored both Blue & Annie. She would often greet them with trills & walk between their legs jumping up to scent them with the side of her face.

She has really enjoyed the last 7 months as she loved our new house & garden & spent a lot of time snoozing in the sunshine, catching mice and chasing birds & squirrels:

She was a very loving cat but wouldn't tolerate anything that constituted 'fiddling' including flea spray, the giving of tablets or any other unwelcome attention. So I had to smile when she managed to bite the vet as she inserted the 'lethal injection' despite having being given a sedative beforehand

So sorry to hear about your loss :( It sounds like Monet was a real character and led a very happy life. *hugs*
I'm so sorry petal. Clearly she had a very happy retirement though, and 16 is an excellent age for a cat.
*hug* so sorry she's gone. I can't imagine losing our Caiomhe.

Glad to know she was Monet to the end - she was a lovely, most definite-minded cat. And she did have a wonderful last few months, in her new home.
Hugs to you all.

So sorry to hear about your loss. It's always sad when we have to say goodbye - they're not just pets, they're part of the family.
But good on her for giving the vet one last bite! ;0)
*Big hugs* The girl had spunk right to the end. Glad to see she spent her 'golden years' enjoying herself in the sunshine!
