ByeBye Our Gormie Girl



We know this day comes and still feel sadden. Two summers ago, we found that she had enlarged abdomen. Amazingly, she survived last year and half.

We sent her to the vet this noon to see if any hope. We were told that her system was totally clogged up. Her kidney function was failing. We had to make the decision to put her to sleep today. We brought her favorite - ice cream this afternoon. She did lose her used-to zeal for the cream and still licked bits from my finger. That was our favorite thing to do - let her lick ice cream from our fingers and feel her cat-saw tongue. Sammy and I held her for a long time before letting her go. She was such affectionate cat. She was still cooking while we held her the very last time. I hope that dads' arms gave her familiar comfort before she was finally relieved from pain.

We buried her in the side garden. She is back to the Nature. She will accompany me as usual when I go for gardening. But I have missed her mew dearly already.

dear steven & sam,

i remember gormie very well. jasmine terrorized her a lot during our stay last november...

it's sad to know that she's gone... but not that far away; just a stone-throw away in the backyard.

wishing well. - ben and jim (kl)
