A little over 6 years ago, we found out we were pregnant with Ethan. The next day, we went out and got a kitty. I had been wanting one. Shane wasn’t so sure, but he went along with my idea. Maeby became a part of our family. She was frisky and wild and we loved her. She totally won over Shane’s heart despite tearing up our furniture and the bites she would give you while you thought you were being sweet and petting her.
This last March, Maeby became really sick. The vet did a bunch of tests and basically, there was nothing they could do to help the situation. She stopped eating and drinking and lost a ton of weight, but she seemed to be hanging on. Everyday, we prayed for her, that she would recover. We were really surprised she hung on as long as she did. Paige was able to meet her and do a little tail pulling. Maeby became very sweet and cuddly in her last few months and all the kids were able to snuggle her and love on her. She went to kitty heaven yesterday and there were a lot of tears. We will miss our little grey striped cat.
