A Farewell to Wanda

Wanda entered the clearing at the end of the path today. She was our 17 year old Maine Coon cat. Wanda was so named because her markings reminded my sister-in-law of a fish, and "A Fish Called Wanda" was out at the time. It just stood to reason to have "A Cat Called Wanda".

She fell to a degenerative spinal disease that was making it harder and harder for her to get around. When she was unable to stand this morning, I knew her time had come. She was put to rest at 1:00 p.m., and by 2:30, she was resting comfortably next to Bob Barker the dog, under a tree at the farm.

She will be missed.
