Ruby

Today my sweet cat Ruby died. She was 19. Ruby was a major part of my life since I was 5. She looked after me, loved me and slept in-between my legs every night for 15 years.

I got Ruby for Christmas after months and months of telling my parents that all I wanted for Christmas from santa was a kitty!! Sure enough on Christmas morning "santa" made my wish come true! I could hear tiny meows from the basement. I crept downstairs to see what santa had left me, I slowly and quietly opened the door and all of a sudden a tiny long red haired creature shot up the stairs like a firework!! I ran after her, I was so excited!! She cuddled up to the wall a little scared of the crazy child running after her... so I sat on the top of the step, calmed down and whispered to her, "Come here kitty kitty." She snuck over to check me out and after she decided I was ok, she jumped into my lap and cuddled with me!! From that moment on her and I have been best friends! She is the best cat ever!!

I will post some pictures of Ruby later... for now, goodbye Rotton Ruby. We love you so much and will miss you! I'll always remember my naughty red fire ball!! I love you
