The passing

It is not often that I will write three blogs in one day, but I wanted to let you all know about the sad occurrence that took place a few hours ago. Our dear and beloved cat, Missy, went to kitty heaven. I was washing dinner dishes when Audrey came running in yelling to me and crying at the same time, "Missy is dead, Missy is dead". It seems that Jordan decided to put the cat in the drink cooler and screw the lid down. Just the fact that Missy allowed him to do that testifies that she was a good cat. She was great with the kids. Joey liked to carry her around all day like she was his baby doll.

I spanked Jordan not for killing the cat, but because he knows he is not supposed to trap the cat in anything. We have rescued her more times than I care to count. He hadn't done anything like that in months though so I thought he was getting better. I heard her crying, but thought she was just out playing with the dog. I feel so badly about it. I am thinking that Jordan put her in there after she scratched his nose for being mean to her. I don't think he understands that the cat is dead because of his actions.

After dinner Jordan went to see how Missy was faring in the cooler. When he discovered that she was limp, he put her on the porch. Then he proceeded to tell her what a bad kitty she was for pottying in the cooler. While he was doing this, Audrey came running to tell me Missy was dead. I don't think we will ever use that cooler again.

As I am writing this she still sits out on the back porch when the kids put her after they pulled her out of the cooler. I just don't have the power to do anything with her. She will have to sit there until Jason gets home from his meeting.

This is a picture of her at Christmas. She grew a lot since this picture.
