Question:
Katie was my bobtail tabby that I got when I lived at home, before I met my husband. She was my shadow, even going for walks with me through the woods everyday. When I met my husband, she immediately hated him, I think because he was moving in on her territory. When I moved into an apartment, my parents asked that Katie remain with them since she was used to being on a farm and getting outside. For a couple of months, she lost weight and acted depressed but I made special visits to see her everyday and go for walks and she gained her weight back.
Finally, my parents went through a nasty divorce and I no longer had access to Katie. I even went to a lawyer about her but was told that since I had no proof she was mine, I would never "get custody". It was a nasty divorce that lasted 2 years. I kept tabs on Katie by asking my brother, who lived at home, about her everyday. Finally, when I asked my mom to get her for me as part of the settlement ( I now own a house), my mom told me that shortly after Katie couldn't see me anymore, she again lost weight and one day, just disappeared. I feel guilty that I didn't just "catnap" her. Maybe she'd be alive today. She was the best cat I've ever had and I hope she knows that I love her still.
