Mimo



This is how Mimo did everything.

Full speed with tail fluffed out.

This is how she died on the road outside on Wednesday. We came home to find her frozen in action, killed instantly.

In her short life she climbed everything she could climb and played with everything that could be played with.

She was a furry grey blur who pounced out of nowhere on bare feet, bits of straw, the sweeping brush, the dog. One minute she was there and the next she was gone.

Oh, so sorry! I've had many cats over the years, but it's always heartwrenching when one doesn't learn to be wary of the road in time. Poor Mimo...

That's very sad. We had a ginger mog go awol a while ago. We never did find him so I prefer to hope he found new owners.
Kittens learn so much so fast, but they seem to either have road smarts, or not.

Poor Mimo. Sounds as if she was quite a character. Sigh.

I'm sending you a hug -
Your post made me get up and hug my cat - they are too precious for too short a time in our lives.

We are so, so sorry about Mimo. We know how much you loved her. She was a real character. We had to give ours an extra hug after Lazlo told us.

I'm so,so sorry to read about little Mimo's death - at least it was quick and her short little life sounds as though it was filled with fun and pleasure. It's so sad when we lose a four legged friend.
