This post is long overdue.
Our second beloved kitty, Selena, passed away on July 7, age 17+, likely from old age. Her death was somewhat of a surprise, given that she'd been to the vet a few months ago and was given a clean bill of health, but she had been slowing down a bit. Maybe she missed Dirk.
Our house feels strangely quiet now (other than the toddler), since we've had cats continuously living here since we moved in here in 2005. There are no more explanations for noises heard in the night. I'm finding it difficult to put away the cat paraphernalia.
Farewell Selena, you are missed every day. Here are a few photos from the past couple of years.

| Selena's insistence on sleeping under the covers was definitely a mixed blessing. |

I'm glad Selena got her own homage. I remember her as the skittish but sweet-natured cat whom I could trust always. Also, she could balance herself on difficult surfaces better than any other cat I've ever seen. R.I.P. Selena.
When we visited last month we missed Selena's presence. She was so soft and cuddly and sometimes even slept with us.
Oh no!!! I can't believe she wont be around when I visit you guys next! She was awesome.
Farewell Selena, may you rest forever snuggled up against some great warm soft body.
