Madison the Elder Cat – In Memorium February 4, 2018

trackback
In October of 2001 the superintendent of my building called me up and asked if I wanted a cat. It seems that a kitten had walked into the lobby of my building and just sat down. I rushed downstairs and found a little bundle of fur. And that was that. Fast forward almost 17 years and Madison crossed that very crowded rainbow bridge this week. Truth be told, she was not a very nice cat. That was part of her charm. She harrumphed around the apartment, hissed at her roommates and generally had a bad attitude. All of those aforementioned things made me love her even more. When she came to live with us I had two other cats, whom she learned to hate. A few years later Benny the dog came to live with us. She was not fond of him either. She outlived those animals and then got to share her space with kitten sisters Audrey and Roberta and eventually Jack the one-eyed dog. She did not like any of them either. Do I miss this grumpy cat? You bet.

So sorry to hear of Madison’s passing! Of course I remember when you got her … how the doorman asked if you wanted a “cot.” She sure was sweet-looking … I didn’t realize she was such a grumpy cat! I especially like the pic of her with your paints.

One of the worst things in the world … to lose your beloved pet. So sorry. Madison was a cutie and handsome too. How you must miss him and his wicked but adorable personality. My kitties wish Madison a happy journey.

So sorry Judy. We recently lost our Lucy after 18 years. We know how you feel. Our evenings are a little colder without her curled up on one of our laps (after being not nice to other people during the day).

Long live the “cot” Madison. Binky will hear from me. Yes, that bridge is too crowded.
