In Loving Memory of our Cats


		Pete will be missed by all.

		Queen Bea came into my life as a 6 week bundle of fur with big eyes full of wonderment. For the next 13 1/2 years, she was my devoted companion and confident. She would meet me at the door every night when I got home and no matter how bad my day was, her purrs and pretty face made everything right. She was the Queen and had the demenor of one. There were only two peole in her world, Dada and not the Dada. The last day of her life she rode co-pilot to pick up Mama. When my wife came to the car there was a co-worker with her. From the sick kitty, she transformed herself into her regal maner and put on an act that surprised even me. Little did we know she had less than 45 minutes to live. She only was home 30 seconds before we had to lay her down.

		Miki found us when we weren't even thinking about adding a second cat to our family. A friend found her on her property, only four months old and nothing but fur and bones. The day she brought Miki to our home, Miki spent 20 minutes letting us fawn over her and the next four days sleeping. She loved snuggling and would do so with anyone who would have her. If a warm lap wasn't available when she needed it she'd follow us around, meowing until someone sat down. Her belly stayed soft like a rabbit's fur and she'd let you scratch her chin for hours if you could. She liked being with us so much that she'd often get in the car with us, and we once had to carry her trick-or-treating because she had followed us two blocks from home. Miki was as adventurous and brave as she was patient and loving. We regret that our love wasn't enough to keep her in the house; her instinct to be outside and hunt was overwhelming. Her death was tragic, and we feel like we let her down. She was an amazing soul. We miss her deeply.

		Silkey was my cat and my friend for many years. She was always there for me when I needed her most. She listened to me through my high school years when friends came and went. She was there when I got married and had both my kids. I will miss her always.

		Kallie was our friend, our explorer and secretes keeper. She always wanted to make you feel better and be close to you. Where ever I went, Kallie had to go. If I sat outside by the bon fire, I had to pull up an extra chair for her to sit on along side me. She was my morning alarm clock, she woke me up every morning at 5:30, 7 days a week and I looked forwards to getting up with her. We got Kallie at 6 weeks old; she fit in the palm of my hand. Kallie was with us for 12 wonderful years and she is greatly missed.

		We adopted Max when he was just a little bundle of fur that could fit in your hand. He was king of the castle over our other pets including our two labs. He was only 10 but he had a great life and brought joy and love to all those who knew him. He will be missed but the memories will last a lifetime. We love you fuzzy man.

		Tabitha came to us from the animal control shelter in Tempe, AZ in Nov., 1992. She spent the next 16 1/2 years with us as we started and expanded our family. She was very much the "little lady" of our house and gave us so much love. We miss her very much and will love her always.

		Frank was rescued from Minnesota by my wife, "Because they shoot them up here!". He went from feral to friend, and will be greatly missed.

		Murphy was almost 18 years old when we put him down in May 2009 - he was my friend, snuggle buddy and all around cool cat. I got him while I was living away from home for the very first time...he came to me as a stray kitten....so small I could put him in the palm of my hand. He was always mischievous, but loving. He will be missed.

		On November 13, 2007, we lost Chaos, Saukville Vet's clinic cat, due to serious illness. He fought a week before he passed away. Even though he was only with us a short time, he made a big impact at the clinic. He will be missed sitting on the receptionist chairs, sitting in the mail basket greeting the postman, sitting on the counter eating his food, helping in puppy classes, or laying on the phone while you tried to work. Despite his name, he was one of the most laid-back cats we ever knew and very loving. We will miss him at the clinic.
