Marlis: In Memoriam
Our cat Marlis died last night from kidney problems. She was fourteen. Like many tabby cats, she was very affectionate and cuddly: if there was a lap, she wanted to be in it. She used to follow me around from room to room—when I took a shower, she’d even hop up on the toilet seat and keep me company from there. She slept every night curled up on my feet. Sometimes she liked to lick my face before she settled down to sleep: her tongue was rough, but I let her do it, because she was so sweet.
She was a little brown kitty with a beautiful stripey face, green eyes, and velvety soft paws. She had a ready and splendid purr. She was part of our family, and we loved her.

She was the sweetest kitty. I’m sorry that she’s gone.

Ohhhhhh. I’m so sorry. Marlis was a fine cat, friend, and companion. I’ll never forget the way you headed out west with a suitcase under one arm and Marlis under the other. RIP, Marlis. You will long be remembered.

Oh no, I am very sorry to hear about the passing of Marlis. She was a good cat too.

What?! No! She finally had a yard to romp around and poop in. I will miss house sitting and fishing for cats with Marlis. I discussed this distressful situation with Isla and she says she is available for kitty cuddling if you need it.
