Last night, Kato died.
Michael wrote up a detailed blog about what happened.
I’d just like to take a moment to remember Kato & speak about the good times.
We adopted Kato from a Petsmart in Virginia that worked with a local animal shelter to find homes for shelter kitties. She was a tiny kitten at the time, and we estimated her birthday to be Cinco de Mayo.
She lived with us in Virginia as a totally indoor cat; and did well on the plane trip to California. When we finally moved into the home on Holly Oak Lane, she got more and more curious about the outdoors.
At first, she stayed on the concrete; she didn’t like the wet grass at all. Eventually, she got more and more confident. Over the course of several years, natural instinct kicked in and she realized her true potential as a huntress. She caught lizards, and mice regularly and brought them to the house as trophies.
I can’t honestly say that Kato was the most loving cat that I’ve ever cared for, but she had her moments. When she was in a loving mood, she was generous with the head dives. But overall, she was most known for her mischievous behavior: knocking things off of counter tops (that she wasn’t supposed to be on) in the middle of the night or drinking from the water cup on my bedside.
Overall, Kato was a good cat. I am proud that she had an opportunity to flourish and develop. She will be missed.
