Just wanted to say thank you for all of your support, in years past and present.

My sweet girl, Savannah, has passed. We let her go this afternoon. She earned her wings for sure.

Savannah was really my husband's cat ("she came with the husband"). I was always a dog lover and unconvinced that she could win my heart. Well, she did. Within a year of dating my future husband, I began to worry about her, take care of her, and enjoy her company. And to my amazement, she was quite dog-like. She enjoyed some rough housing, and was always up for a little fight, with a string or ball point pen of course. She would creep up next to me in the morning and snuggle with me at night. I couldn't resist her, I was her mommy. When she was an outdoor kitty she enjoyed catching birds and "offering" us dinner by leaving them on the front porch. We moved two times after that to apartments where she was no longer able to go outside. Savannah didn't love the city life, but quickly adjusted to the pampered life. After all, she was a diva! She was diagnosed with diabetes, and I was sure it was a death sentence. It took me two years to figure out she needed something other than Humulin N (btw-our wedding photographer recommended this site). We were welcomed to Lantus Land, and within a year, no longer needed insulin. She taught me how to be a parent, and that sleep is overrated. We moved one more time, and she was happy to finally have a sun room to view birds and other creatures, all while sunbathing in the comfort of her own home. She even caught a bat that was in the house, mid-air!! When I was pregnant and dealing with unbearable back pain, she was always there to be awake with me at 3 am, and for late night snack too. Savannah was so good to my son, she never scratched or hissed. She provided me comfort when I lost my dad this summer. She would sit and purr softly next to me, head butt me, reach out with her paw. She was a good companion. I miss her terribly already.I am so lucky that I had the honor of being her mommy.

I picture her on the beach catching little critters and sunbathing, maybe snacking on some cape cod chips and deli meat...love you 'nana girl.

Dianne, I am so sorry it was Savannah's time to move on. Fly free sweet girl rb_icon

From what you wrote she was a true friend and you were a true momma to her. That kind of love and connection never vanishes. She will be in your heart where you can hold her memory close.

(((hugs)))
 
Beautiful story. What a wonderful full life she had. I know that you will always miss her. Praying that you and your family find peace and comfort.
 
As her Momma Bean, you truly described the bond well and how despite "not" being a cat person, they will win every time. Ask my hubby! He has a bad case of "love my kitty" LOL.

Fly free Savannah! My condolences to you and your family.
 
Free of mortal life but taking all that love in immortal wings she is now forever happy and knows of your love...
