Most of you know that Ellie passed on 9/16/20 at 7:52am. But I don’t want to talk about that...you can find the details in her ARVC thread here: “Ellie: ARVC and CHF”
“Ellie: ARVC and CHF”


What I’d like to do is have everyone say one thing that either they loved about her, or a story that you thought was funny or inspirational, or just something kind in general. I’d like this to be a happy memorial thread.


My favorite story:
Ellie would always be with me no matter where I was in the house. If she left it was only for a few minutes to get a snack or use the litter box. So one day a few years ago, I realized it had been 30 minutes since I had seen her in the living room with me. We had been watching TV together. I started calling her name, no response. So I started walking through the house. I heard a little rustling coming from the master bathroom. I walk in there, and what do I find, but Ellie licking up tiny little beads of fish food off the bathroom floor. See, for some stupid reason I had fish food in there in a Ziploc bag on the bathroom counter. She had pulled the bag down onto the floor, ripped it open and scattered these tiny 1 mm pellets everywhere and was slopping them up off the floor like I’d never fed her before. I should mention her food bowl was full right in the same room. Anyway, you can’t get mad about these things. They are too hilarious!. It’s one of my favorite stories about her and I treasure it every time I think about it.

I love,love,love that you want this to be a positive thread. I get very emotional when these angels get their wings. I want to thank Ellie for letting me connect with you Stephanie and allowing me to become your friend. One recent memory was you sending me her pic and I said oh boy she certainly looks like royalty and I sent it back with a proper crown on her. No matter what pic you posted of her, there was always a sense she was a sweet soul in your presence. I know you shared she had sassy pants at the vets lol but when she was with you I could tell she was connected to your heart. A true heart cat.

I love that she made you so happy and that she was able to bring you comfort when you were struggling. I also love that you were able to do the same for her. Some cats are 'just' a cat but others are able to create a special bond with their human and I'm so happy that you had that with her.

I love how Ellie remained nestled on your chest when a number of us did a Zoom Call video meet earlier this year. I think there was another time u shared a picture of her with her puzzle feeders..?

Forgot to ask, did u have her since she was a baby?

I did not. She was born on 2/6/09 and I adopted her on 11/4/14 so she was actually almost 6 when I got her from the shelter.

Hugs for you. A day to look back on 11 loving years with her and to shed some tears for not having more years with her

I only got 5 years, 10 months and 12 days with her. I adopted her as an adult. I feel robbed every day. Part of the reason I opted for a kitten this time.
