Cali Paolinellie

(Crossed over the Rainbow Bridge 6/17/2008)

Today, 6-17-08, I had to say goodbye to my beloved cat "Cali." She was a beautiful calico with big green eyes. She had a gentle nature and was always a perfect little lady. She was truly one of God's masterpieces. Cali came into my life shortly after my first husband's death and the death of my first cat. It was a very difficult time for me. She was a stray brought to me by my neighbor and we bonded immediately. She needed a good home and I needed a good friend. We helped each other. Cali enjoyed good health until last year. She started getting ill in the fall of 2007, and was recently diagnosed with a cancer called malignant histiocytosis, which is rare in cats. We did all the treatment available but the prognosis was grave. Her quality of life was good until recently and I knew the time was near that I would have to make the dreaded decision to end her suffering. God was merciful to us and this morning called her home to the "Rainbow Bridge." I am very grateful to have been given the gift of her love and companionship for the past 13 years. I'm glad I had the means to pamper her and give her a good life. I loved hearing her purr and having her sit with me at night in the recliner. It was a pleasure to care for her. I know she is at peace now, but I will miss her terribly.
