She was a great kitty

On Monday, my family had to say good-bye to our kitty Mittens. We had her since a baby. In February we found out she had kidney failure. She was the toughest kitty ever!! Some days she wouldn't eat and my mom would think she gave up, then the next morning she'd be running around, eating, and being herself. She fought hard, but during the weekend, she had no more strength. It was a tough decision for my family, to put her down, but she didn't know us and she wasn't herself. She loved the outdoors. She always wanted to go out when the door opened. She loved laying in the window sunbathing. I'll miss her the most at family dinners. She always came under the table and said "hello" with her tail. It will be weird not having that "hello" anymore. Her mother, Roxy, is still with us. She is totally freaking out. She knows something went wrong. I'll miss my baby Mittens, or Babeil (the name I gave her and made up when she first came to live with us). "I'll see you in heaven." That was the last thing I said to her.
