Tragedy Strikes Again

I’ve lost another cat to tragedy. Remember Sophie?
Well, my mom just called me right now to tell me our baby, Quilla, died today. Somehow last night when my mom came home from parent-teacher conferences, Quilla got caught underneath the garage door as it was going down. The next morning my parents found her and rushed her to the animal hospital, and she wasn’t dead, but she was so severly injured, they decided to put her down. She was only like9 or so. We still had so much time with her.
And it’s getting to be the time of the year that we got her. We got her in December, around Christmas, as she was my mom’s Christmas present. She was a purebred Maine coon, which we adore in our family. My parents, me, and a friend of mine went out to Bethlehem PA to pick our kitten from the litter. I forget why we chose her, but I’m so glad we did! I wrapped her up in my mom’s winter hat and held her during the ride back home.
Maine coons are known for being rather large, but Quilla was so tiny and petite, only about 6 pounds soaking wet. She was such a love bug though. So cuddly and sweet. She’d always sleep right next to me whenever I would go home. She even tried to get in on some post-coital affection when Match came to visit me recently.
Here’s a horrible camera phone picture of her, but it’s all I have of her digitally. I’ll have to scan some print ones I have.
I’m going to miss her so much.
