This is my first blog/tweet and I want to share some sad news that I'm sure all animal lovers will understand. Yesterday evening Tuesday 9/11/2010 our little cat Molly had to be put to sleep after sharing her life and love with us for 15 years and one day. She turned up on Monday 6 /11/1995 as a 3 month old kitten. I called her Molly but canvassed my village to see if anyone had lost a little white and tortoise shell tailed kitten. No one came forward and she became part of our little pride of cats and fitted straight in. She got the nicknames "little white lightining" for the way she dashed everywhere and Molly Twitchett for the way she used to dance on her hind legs and twitch her tail at us for attention. She fell ill the beginning of September with a bowel problem that with treatment we thought we had licked. It was only the symptom of a much more serious problem, an undiagnosed lymphoma. She became acutely anaemic and in the space of a few hours deteriorated rapidly. We rushed her to the vet who said how ill she was and we had her put to sleep. In the last couple of weeks she'd been much like her old self rushing everywhere and twitching her tail, which makes it all the more heartbreaking for us. We miss her so much our hearts have such a heavy weight on them. Her 19 year old "brother" Kit (the last of our once 7 strong pride) keeps looking for her and it's breaking our hearts. We love you Molly, St Francis please keep her safe with the rest of her brothers until we meet them all again at the Rainbow Bridge.
