I called home yesterday during the day to find out how my cat Charlotte was doing--she had been very sick with a thyroid condition. My parents had planned to hold off until I got home from work, but reluctantly told me that they had just taken her to be put to sleep.

She was the sweetest cat in the whole world. Some people say cats don't love you like dogs do--Charlotte was totally different.

I can't remember exactly when we obtained her. I think I was in 8th grade or so. She was actually originally the neighbor's cat. But they didn't feed her enough and let her water freeze, so she started coming our way. I begged and finally my parents let me start feeding her. We called and asked the neighbors if we could have her, and they said yes.

RIP, Char. I'll miss you.

2 I'm so sorry to hear that. Dogs will love you non-stop, but a cat will love you when you need it the most.
