Goodbye, Sarah

After 22 years as a member of the Lowe family, Sarah left us and entered cat heaven.  No longer will visiting grandchildren argue who is to feed her and hold and pet her.  She was given a painless death this morning. Jen nursed her for the last month , but Sarah would no longer eat and could not stand.

About 22 years ago Sarah showed up at our house, hungry and very pregnant.  The young children won over the  parents and she became a permanent resident after we arranged for homes for her kittens.  We relegated Sarah to the outside or the garage although she managed to dart into the house at times.  Sarah was confused; she seemed to think she was a dog and would take a walk with us.  My only real problem I had with   her is that sometimes she would kill a song bird and leave it before the door.
