Then End of an Era

It is the end of an era in our house. 
In April 2001 a pregnant feral cat, which we then named Cleo, came into our lives. She subsequently delivered 5 kittens on 5/30/2001 and we kept three. Later that summer, Tom, the father of the kittens showed up and we had a Cat Family of 5. Today, almost 19 years later, we had to say good-bye to the final surviving member, Parvati Patel Hufflepuff.

Here's a look back at Miss Patel.

Padma, on the left, was the first first kitten born. His sister, Parvati, on the right, came next.

Hunting.

A close encounter.

Purrfect catitude!

Marching along on business.

I was asleep!

Watchful Huntress.

A cat can nap most anywhere!

 Good-bye dear Parvati, we will miss you without end.
