My beautiful cat passed away today, the 8th August, 2005 sometime between 6:30 to 7:00 at 20 years old. She lived a full and happy life after being the only surviving kitten from a litter rescued from a plastic bag down a ditch and I'm glad that I was there to see the thirteen years that I saw.

I'll always miss Mitzi. She was in the family longer than I was and I think she loved me almost as much as I loved her. She was beginning to go blind and she was deaf. Her death was caused by kidney failure - her system completely shut down. I never got to say goodbye.
