Cate was a gift from my husband, Mark, 20 years ago. These last 6 years she really latched onto Mark, about the time we lost our other cat, and they had a very special companionship! She had gone blind in this last year and she had her extra small corner of the house, in our bedroom that she knew very well. She would start 'calling out' around 10pm every night wanting Mark to go to bed. She would sleep at his side or on his chest every night. She had been the longest and healthiest pet I ever had. We miss hearing her calls at night, her beautiful face, soft fur, and her purrs. We loved Cate!
