We lost Zoey to cancer tonight. She has been sick since before Mike was killed. She was an amazing cat. She would purr the minute you walked into the room, and you could hear her purring from quite a distance. She could put anyone asleep with her calm demeanor and enveloping love. We will really miss her.
The funny thing about Zoey was her prodigious size and her love of food. A friend of mine found her outside the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard 13 years ago. Her daughter wanted to keep her, so they did. Later on, her daughter wanted a hamster and was willing to trade in Zoey for the new pet. We took Zoey in and were glad we did. However, Zoey was our reminder that the food dish needed filling. She greeted us in the morning and after work with a persistent meow asking to be fed. She looked like a turkey with four legs she was so big. The last time we weighed her, she was 30 pounds.
