Muffin, the Cat of the Day
Name: Muffin
Age: Deceased, 16+ years old
Gender: Female
Kind: Siamese mix
Home: Colorado, USA
 
   Muffin was special because she came from a shelter when she was a kitten. She had been returned because she had an eye problem. We took her to the vet in the first week we had her. She was my baby for the last 16+ years. She had kidney failure and a large tumor. We kept her comfortable and had hoped to let her pass naturally but Muffin did have to be put to sleep. She got too weak to get around, but we will always love her.

    We have another cat three years younger and the two never got along. When we got the second cat Muffin was about three and she did not eat for several days. She did not know any tricks. She and I had a ritual of eating tapioca pudding in the evening. I would tear off the lid and she would lick that and then come to me and I would help her clean out the little container. Her absolute favorite was yogurt. She was my cat, in later years she has been wanting to sit on my wife because the other cat demands to sit on me. She would come sit next to me and tap me on the arm because she wanted to lay in the chair where I was sitting. She was a totally indoor cat. She had eyes that glowed red when they reflected light.

    I will always love her. She used to sit on my lap at the computer every weekend and I miss her.
