In Loving Memory of Monster

Last night our cat, Monster was hit by a car. A neighbor saw it happen and came to tell us that our cat was injured. I found Monster hiding in the bushes of another neighbor's yard. When I picked her up I could hear that she had fluid in her lungs. We called the vet right away, but he said we needed to take her to the emergency animal hospital. We got in the car and as we were driving her to the hospital she died in my arms. Hannah was so concerned about Monster and kept saying, "But I love Monster". It was so sad.

Monster's real name was Josie, which she was named by my sister-in-law, Brie. She gave her to us and we called her Monster because everyone that saw her said she looked scary like a monster. (I used to have some pictures, but when my external hard drive crashed, all my pictures were gone forever).

Monster was such a good cat. She let the girls cary her around and never once scratched them. She hated our dog, but I think she was starting to warm up to her. I noticed that she started to provoke Cleo and would try to get the dog to chase her. She recently found that she loved to take naps on Hannah's bed.

We loved Monster and she will be missed.
