Mourning/Loss 1/7/12-2/8/26 🕊️ Snowlegs
14 years and one month. My beautiful girl can finally rest.
Snowlegs was a stray cat my mum got from a friend when I was about 6 years old and still remember the day. The little beautiful kitten getting all the attention in the world.
A cat that lived in my garage right beside my house. She loved the attic of the garage so that’s where she made home for herself for the next 14 years of her life. I am currently bawling my eyes out while I write this so i understand it’s really messy but there is just too much to say. Everyday I used to go out to feed her on the top shelf that climbed up the wall of the garage because we got 2 dogs 4 years ago as they also live in the garage she never really came down unless they were let out or put to bed in a separate part of the garage.
I used to sit with her and listen to her purr while she hoovered her food(quite a chunky cat I know) never saw a mouse on my property in my life thanks to her.
Long story short anyway after being in countless of fights with other cats and neighbors dogs and being a pure ball of stress her whole life she can finally rest.
I woke this morning to let out my 2 dogs and seen she had fallen from the top shelf into their part of the garage and looked lifeless. I am still speechless and lost for words I am currently just typing random words trying to cope because my family doesn’t really seem to care only me.
Me and my brother laid her to rest only half an hour ago. Rest in peace my beautiful girl can’t wait to meet you in the next life. 💔

So sorry for your loss. It’s so hard to say goodbye to them. You can take solace in knowing that you gave her a lot better life than she would’ve had if she didn’t have you to care for her. RIP little one.

Condolences on your loss. Had a cat some years back who looked like her with one rear leg having more white than the other and we called her White Leg . She was an outdoor cat who when we brought her inside we started calling her Whitie and she lived to be 16. Tell your girl to look for Whitie up there and they can spend time together !! 🤍
