Daisy was my BEST friend. She slept in the bed with me EVERY night. Her loud purring actually helped me sleep. (I have insomnia.) Daisy could always tell when something was wrong with me, and she would climb right into my lap and always make me feel better. She wasn't a very playful cat... more sweet and loving than anything. Daisy was a beautiful animal inside and out. Her photo was published by the International Library of Photography and can still be viewed at http://www.picture.com (the title of her photo is "Cat of the Year"). And that she was... Her death came on unexpectedly at first. She began experiencing liver failure. She turned yellow all over and stopped eating. I believe the anorexia is what finally took her life. I told her a few weeks before she passed that it was okay for her to go. I knew she was hurting, so I said my goodbyes. But even though I said goodbye and now know that she isn't hurting anymore, I am still soooo very torn up over this. I miss my Daisy more than anyone could possibly imagine. She will soon be cremated, and the ashes will be given back to me in a beautiful urn in the shape of a cat. Rest in peace my precious Daisy. I will NEVER forget you. Thank you for your loyalty and love. You cannot and WILL not be replaced. You are one of a kind, baby girl. I hope you are running free and playing with all of the other animals in "cat heaven." Maybe one day we will meet again. Until then, know that you are missed dearly and thought of each and every day... I assure you that.
