Maisie my beautiful black cat

Maisie first came to me when I was living in Reading. She adpoted me. She was a lively little thing, small, and very rounded. Round paws, round face and a round tummy! She loved to play - chasing string was a great game and she also loved it when you flicked a pen or pencil for her to chase. She would cunningly hide....wiggle her bottom....and pounce! She used to make us laugh! I have never seen a cat literally jump before either; she could literally 'boing' off all four feet. In the evenings she was a lap cat and she would love to cuddle up but bedtime was her favourite when she could snuggle right up against your legs. Of course in the morning when she woke up, it wasn't just time for her to get up, it was time for you to get up too.... standing right on top of you a furry face would be staring at you and a paw would reach round prod you on the head, then she would lean in and nibble your hair....little pesty. In her later life she was timid but she was always affectionate to me and my parents, particularly my mum who cared for her as much as I did. She was always a huge comfort to me when I was struggling and at the end when I knew she was struggling it was no longer kind or fair to prolong her life when she was no longer happy. I loved her very much and she will always have a special place in my heart. Be at peace now Maisie and we will miss you. xxxx
