Nimasí Calamity
Nimasí was such a great cat who got along with all our dogs, he was so tough he would even protect our dogs from other dogs, sometimes I think he thought he was a little dog himself!
Nimasí came from a litter of kittens that belonged to my sister, his mom’s name was Pickles. We kept Nimasí because my daughter wanted to keep one kitten as all the others were surrendered to the humane society by my sister. Nimasí got his Navajo name meaning “potato” because he liked to nap in the potato cabinet all the time! He definitely grew fast on us the two years we spent with him.
Nimasí slept outside one day in May and got attacked by a dog to where he was seriously injured and there was no way to save him. My mom and sister took him to the emergency vet in town and it was there they did x-rays and ultrasounds and determined his organs were to damaged and tangled up to repair. The vet humanely put him to sleep.
We will always remember Nimasí as our tough cat dog, always happy, napping, hunting, and playing outside. I wish we kept him inside that night, but sometimes the unexpected happens and we have to make the best choice for our loved animals. We love you Nimasí.
