RIP, Eartha Kitty


Eartha used up the last of her nine lives, we guess, two years ago -- when Scott nursed her back to happy kitty health after she had acute renal failure. She had another two really good years of running around the house, playing with her cat toys, drinking out of the sink or any glass of water you had anywhere, and sparring with Deedee from time to time.

As we knew would happen at some point, her kidneys failed again, but this time there was no fixing it. She went downhill very fast and today we had to euthanize her.

Goodbye, Eartha Kitty -- you were a good cat (as cats go) and we'll miss you. We promise to run the bathroom sink in your memory every now and then.

Oh. That's sad. I'm so sorry. Rest in Peace, Eartha Kitty. And say hi to Frieda and the Dirty Bastard for me, 'kay?

Kitty heaven is a little brighter today with a bit of Eartha there.

Our family is sending your family hugs and happy thoughts.

As I mentioned we have a spot here for her in our front yard, next to a couple of beloved rats.

Goodbye, Kitty.

The poor dear. It sounds exactly what my kitty suffered through before I finally put her down.

What a pretty cat Eartha was. A pretty, curled up ball of warmth is now missing from your home; my sympathy goes out to you.

I'm so sorry - Eartha was a terrific cat. And so lucky to have a home with you two. Tears are good - and soon, the memories of Eartha will be sweet and welcome.

Eartha was so good to me when I would come to visit. She knew that I missed my kitty so she would curl up and sleep on the bed with me. A sweet friend.
