Our little cat JD, passed away yesterday January 3rd. She was my mom's cat for most of her life -- she lived in the barn and would come out to visit mom while she gardened. JD had to be a very courageous and wiley cat to survive out there in the wilds of Lake Stevens -- just to avoid the coyotes, feral cats, dogs and various other dangers, she had to be on her toes.
We took her in when Mom was too sick to go outside to give JD a pat -- Mom was very worried about her old friend, and wanted to make sure JD was taken care of after she died.
We were JD's retirement home for about six months, and in that time Scott and I became very attached to her. She was an old lady who was set in her ways, and wanted affection, but on her own terms. She preferred to be alone, although she forged a truce with King, and liked to share his dog bed. She'd also eat out of his dog bowl, much to his consternation.
RIP little kitty.

Yvette - so sorry to hear about the loss of cute little JD. I have a little-old-lady kitty at home too, cantankerous as all get-out, but lovable nonetheless.
I'm sure you gave her much comfort in her last days.
Sorry to hear of J.D.'s passing. I am glad you and Scott were able to give her comfort in her last days.
Dad
