Helen the Amazing Kitty - Rest in Peace
Image by pmarkham
Those of you who follow my photostream know that I'm a sucker for animals with special needs. I'm sad to report that my special needs kitty, Helen the Amazing Kitty, died on May 7, 2011 of cardiac arrest brought on by severe anemia. She will be greatly missed. Rest well little "Squeakers".
We found Helen at the end of August, 2009. She was a feral cat in our town and had managed to survive two months on her own even though she was completely blind. For some reason, this kitty lacked any eyeballs at all, but that didn't stop her from living life to the fullest! She was affectionate, smart, adventurous, and....AMAZING! We could all learn a lot about how to live our lives by watching this little cat.
In August of 2010, my ex-wife moved to Texas and little Helen accompanied her on the trip. We were both worried about how she would do on the car ride and how she would adapt to her new home. She did marvelously -- better than most humans would do with that big of a change. Sadly, after less than a year in her new home, she got sick and her life ended maddenlngly early. It breaks my heart to know she's gone. She was so tenacious. Out of all of my animals, I thought for sure she would live a long, happy life because she never let anything stop her.
