I inherited Della from my daughter after her circumstances sadly changed. Thus, we were both blessed to spend time with this sweet, shy, determined little girl who still looked like a kitten when she passed away at twenty.
She loved to spend time helping me in the garden.

Actually, this is a voting security feature. During public voting, only club members can read posts submitted for that contest. Since anyone reading the story is able to vote (click the Like button), we reserve these capabilities to members who SignIn. Before we implemented this security feature, people were voting multiple times and making the public voting process unfair and out of balance. To fix this, our staff finally decided to allow only members who SignIn to read the stories. Membership is free and easy, and ensures our club is safe, secure, and family-friendly!

She lived to a ripe old age! She looks beautiful; her colours are so pretty.
Thank you, Daisy! She was a real darling and even inspired a children’s book I wrote. I haven’t had any luck with publishers as yet but love it as a tribute to Della 🙂
We have five cats, they live to be the bane of our lives, but we love them all regardless. Our oldest one, Kaelo, is nearly 18, and she still looks and behaves like a kitten, sadly, we had to have her twin, Romeo, put to sleep recently. He went into the vet for dental work, he’s had trouble on and off for years, but this time they found an inoperable tumour when they removed the tooth. So we had to make the hard decision. It’s so unfair that their lives can’t be as long as ours. She really does look a little darling. I’m sure she brought you great joy.
I understand your sadness, Carrie, at having Romeo put to sleep. Yes, it does seem unfair. When Della went to her final vet visit I thought she had an infection but she, too, had a tumour. Unfortunately, with aging pets I’ve lost one each year for the past five years. My tears hardly have time to dry 🙁 but I also feel blessed for the time I had with each one 🙂
She looks so beautiful. She looks like our cat “Miming”.

Thank you, Lotchie. She was a real darling. When my daughter Jess first adopted her from the shelter she was quite scared of humans but with lots of patience and love she blossomed. By the time she came to me she would happily sit on my knee and come up for a pat. She had a pronounced limp so we suspect she might have been badly treated before she went to the shelter and it was wonderful to give her the happy life she deserved. 🙂
You’re welcome, Sandra.
