Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2008Maryweather went to the Rainbow Bridge
I stepped outside for a moment and when I started back in I saw Maryweather lying dead under the back steps. I can't bury her right now because the reason I was headed back inside was that there were skunks only a few feet away. No visible injuries - I have no idea what killed her, though there is a severe upper respiratory illness going around and Tigger has the runs. I hadn't seen her in several days, but that is not unusual. She was my pretty little calico: 67.54.246.139:9000/tdavis/cats/camouflage.600x400.jpg and 67.54.246.139:9000/tdavis/cats/03.jan/mary.267x400.1.jpg Later - Well, I buried her beside the pump house - the first place I tried where the ground wasn't rock hard. In an effort to keep the neighbor's dogs from digging her up, I put two concrete slabs of about 20 pounds each on top of her grave (what with the ground being hard, me being in poor health, and the light rapidly failing, I wasn't able to dig as deep as I would have liked.

She and her brother were dumped at the end of a road at the edge of town when they were just kittens. Not a good start in life. They were found and advertised, and I took them both in. I still have the brother, but he's not friendly as Maryweather was - she was a lap and foot (in bed) cat, and liked to cuddle next to me - usually one of the first to seek attention when I went to bed. I thank all of you for your purrs and concern. SignatureT.E.D. (tdavis@mst.edu) MST (Missouri University of Science and Technology) used to be UMR (University of Missouri - Rolla).

I simply cannot imagine to find your beloved cat dead. I have lit a candle for Maryweather, in my very special candle holder in the shape of a sleeping cat. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ >^..^< "Life without cats would be only marginally worth living." -TC, and the unmercifully, relentlessly, sweet calico kitty, Kenzie. Every day is a treasure with Kenzie; I try to treat them that way. There will only be so many, and then there will never, ever, be any more. How you behave towards cats here below determines your status in Heaven. - Robert Heinlein > I simply cannot imagine to find your beloved cat dead. I have a large clowder - fourteen now. Most often, a cat goes off somewhere and just doesn't come back, but sometimes, one dies near the house ... or inside, and I find the body. It hurts more than when they just don't come back. > I have lit a candle for Maryweather, in my very special candle holder in > the shape of a sleeping cat. I'd like to have one of those, but on the other hand, it would make me feel like I was expecting them to die. I guess I won't be looking for one after all. One curious thing is that her brother (Dandy - red tabby and white) has started being a little less unfriendly: he has let me pet him a couple of times when Mudpie wasn't around (before, I could touch him only if he was with an alpha male, specifically, Mudpie).

That must have been a shock. My group sends purrs, for her to have had a peaceful passing, without suffering. Thanks for posting the photos. She was a sweet-looking kitty. I love the one in the leaves - she certainly was well camouflaged in those colors. Purrs from me a bit late, returning home from a weekend away.

She was a doll. And I am deeply sorry she left you, but she left knowing you loved her mightily, and knows you love her still. Blessed be, Baha |
