We got Napolean about 8 months ago. That doesnt seem long now but it was long enough for her to become one of the family. Ive never been much of a cat person but she took me by surprise with the amount of love I feel for her. She was born almost a year ago. My sister-in-laws cat was pregnant so we thought we would take one of the kitties, our daughter begged us..although we didnt put up much fight! When the kitties were ready in January we drove over to pick her up. I said many times to my husband and daughter we will only bring home ONE kitty on this trip. I tried to be strong but when we got there I fell in love with this cute little boy and my daughter found her little napolean..long story short we came home with two :o) I didnt care..we named her brother Oscar and I soon fell deeply in love with them both. My daughter had never had a pet of her own before and she was so proud that Napolean was all hers. Everybody got such a kick out of the fact that she named a girl kitty Napolean but she stuck it out..she loves the movie Napolean Dynamite. I got used to calling her my little poley ann.My daughter would get mad when I shortened it like that..MOM her name is NAPOLEAN! It makes me laugh and cry right now to think of that. I was home alone this weekend,everyone had places to go. This morning Napolean didnt come in for breakfast with the other kitty. so I called and called for her. finally she showed up but I knew right off looking at her that something wasnt right. I think she had been hit by a car. I rushed to the vet. They gave her pain medicine and tried to stabalize her.she needed surgery...but she died early this afternoon. I still cant believe it. I dont understand and I am so sad. When my daughter came home from her trip I had to tell her and that just about broke my heart. My husband still isnt home yet. It will hurt all over again to tell him. While I was waiting for my daughter to get home I made a really nice space in the garden under a tree. I think we will have a funeral there tomorrow morning. I cant sleep tonight. Oscar was on the bed purring and I swear I can still feel Napolean with me.
