I knew that Mittens would be a feisty cat the day I picked her up from the Humane Society. She kept me (and my guests) on their toes for the full 10 years that she spent with me. However, she was also a sweet, loyal, loveable kitty who was always right by my side or sitting in my lap. I will forever miss hearing her purrs and meows, enjoying her company and cuddles, and being entertained by her playfulness. Your life seemed so short but the love and memories will last forever.
