Dark grey cat sitting on a table with their tongue sticking out

I found Bailey in an old laser cutting machine when she was a kitten. She was my best friend from day one. Tortitude was definitely what she had and only accepted love on her terms. Bailey had to be euthanized at 9 years old due to a mass growing on her lower jaw.
If I would have caught it sooner maybe the outcome would have been different. Hope she had a good life with me, I miss her dearly.
