R.I.P. Mamacat
We first became aware of Mamacat when she had kittens under our deck a little over a year and a half ago. The vet found homes for three kittens, and we kept two and started taking care of Mamacat, but although she was intermittently quite affectionate, she never quite trusted us after her trip to the vet to get neutered.
She had been dividing her time between our house and a neighbor’s for quite some time, so we weren’t worried when we didn’t see her for a while. Today, the neighbor came by to tell us he buried her this morning. We’re not quite sure what happened. Goodbye, Mamacat.
SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR KITTY.
MY MOM HAS A MAMACAT. SHE SHOWED UP OVER 11 YEARS AGO. MY KITTY IS FROM HER LAST LITTER BEFORE BEING FIXED. HE’LL BE 11 ON MAY 5TH. SHE’S MIRACULOUSLY STUCK AROUND. ALL THE OTHER STRAY MOMMIES SHE GOT FIXED SOON DISAPEARED.
GOOD-BYE MAMACAT.

Thanks, SKWRT. This is actually my second “mamacat” myself. The kittens usually are better pets than the mothers are. We’ll miss her, though.

So sorry to hear about Mamacat. I know it will be second nature to look for her for a while. It’s sad, but I’m so happy her babes have a safe, loving place to live. Thank you for taking care of her along with your neighbor. Good work.

Thanks, Jenny. We tried very hard to do the right thing for Mamacat and her kittens.
