in memoria nostri cattus
Emma Bush, our beloved family cat, has passed away. When we were in Utah, she disappeared. We assumed the worst, but still looked for her little "meowy" face every morning and night at our door.
Today we got a phone call with the callers saying they had our cat, and that she had died under their pick-up truck. Oh, this was the worst! I got my hopes up when they said they had our cat, and then was as crushed as much as I thought she was under the truck. When Bob picked her up for our family memorial/burial, she wasn't crushed or hit with a truck! She had just wandered reallllllly far from home (6.6 miles) and then while resting, passed away.
Bob and I believe that she had some form of cat dementia, as her behavior had altered the past few months. We guess that she couldn't find her way back home after one of her wanderings, and kept walking further and further away. We buried her in our back yard, and the children each shared memories of her and planted flowers on top of her gravesite.
We will miss our sweet cat.

You have some closure now. Emma has been laid to rest and her resting place decorated with flowers. She will be missed. I always thought she was a pretty cat. Nice tribute. Did she have a favorite song?
So sad to hear that Emma has left us. I will miss her!
Sorry to hear of your loss, I remember when you got Emma :(
Maybe she's hanging out with Moose now :)
I still remember Bob singing as Moose's memorial service...meow meow meow meow...
