Mongo was a good cat.....


My little girl has always been just CRAZY about "kitties". She has them in books & on TV & on cards & on just about everywhere you can imagine. Mongo, of course, saw my little girl as her "ticket" into the house. She knew that if my little girl was around, she would pick her up and bring her in the house. Granted, the cat knew she would have to endure some relatively terrible "petting" (this was actually more like Lennox Lewis-esque body blows on her tiny little cat flesh). But Mongo never complained. Not once. And she never bit the kids or scratched them.

Anyhow, she got terribly sick last night very quickly and died. I came down stairs to get a towel & went back up to find her dead. Holding her little lifeless body in my hands was so sad. We still haven't told the kids.....They'll be very sad, I'm sure. :(
