We've been worried sick for days -- Findus has been missing. Today I made and hung some missing kitty signs around the neighborhood in a hunch that something had happened to her.
I got a call this afternoon from a neighbor who'd seen the sign and had some news. Apparently, another neighbor found our kitty in the middle of the road, freshly run over and already dead. The woman who found her was very upset. Not wanting to leave her in the middle of the street, she and the neighbor (the woman who called) picked her up and took her to the neighborhood vet.
I had not put her collar on, so no one knew to call us.
This was on Thursday, the first day she was missing.
Oddly enough, I'd hung one of the signs in front of the woman's house who'd helped Findus.
What can I say about this little softie fur bundle that I loved so much? She was persnickety, but somehow she fit into our family. She used to sit next to me as I worked, normally cuddled in a blanket. That is the part I will miss the most. The house feels so empty.
Our little girl will be sorely sorely missed.
Findus, rest in peace. Little kitty kisses go up to you in heaven!
(P.S. thank you to John and Isabella for helping me with the signs!)
Findus smiling in the sun
Relaxing (one of the things she did best!)
She always seemed to be expecting something (just like me!)
I loved it when she washed her little face. Here is a Christmas card I made one year, mimicking Findy keeping clean.
