Sorry to hear that, Jeff. It's never easy losing a little friend.

[Jeff]

We got Sadie as a rescue cat at the age of 12 from a shelter.

I guess it was time. She was starting to get diabetes. Her mind had been deteriorating over the last year or two. I thought she was playing mind games with my mom, walking back and forth to her food dish. Constantly running into my mom in an attempt to troll, but I guess it may have been her mind going.

She didn't really like to play with anything despite putting something in front of her.
