Marty
Marty was born in our spare room in Austin, Texas. Her mother, Mona was a young semi-feral cat we took in when we realized she was extremely pregnant. Marty was the last surviving of her siblings, Hank, Buck, Lefty, Wanda, and Dolly. Mona is living a peaceful life with her loving family.
Marty was petite with full cheeks and squinty, sage-green eyes. She was timid, but loving and nurturing when she was comfortable. She loved her cat and dog siblings and was dedicated to ensuring everyone was properly bathed. She had a mid-life crisis, of sorts after getting lost in a Tucson neighborhood. After that adventure she became pretty fearless and curious- though was more content to stay within the boundaries of our yard where she terrorized lizards, watched the birds, lounged in the sun...
Her death was sudden, and fast, I hope. Her presence was much bigger than the space she occupied. We all miss her terribly.
