Penny Lane

My beautiful kitty, Penny Lane, is dead.

She was born in April 2000 and came to live with me in 2004 after she contracted a virus and had to be retired from a breeding program.  At first I could never catch her, but eventually she became my baby.  She slept on or by my bed and woke me in the mornings, whether I wanted her to or not.  She had an immune disorder which caused her to lose all her teeth, and developed kidney and heart problems.  It was her kidneys that got her.  She'd been feeling bad for the past week and changed her habits.  But I didn't know it was as bad as it was.  I couldn't let her suffer, I had her put down on August 24, 2012.  She had a happy life with me - tho she would have been happier if we had not gotten a golden retriever to pester her.  I miss her.  My beautiful Penny.
