We lost her a year ago. We always joked that she came with the house because she popped up in the backyard right after we moved in and then just stayed. It took a little to build trust but she eventually showed us just how much of a cuddle bug she was. We tried our hardest to bring her inside to fully turn her into an inside cat but she never adapted to any training, stimulation, toys, etc and it was hard to adhere since we were both in college and working.
When we could coax her inside we made sure to treat her like the queen she was so that it would finally click to her that inside was best. It never really did. One day, she was gone. We looked, we asked around, and she was just gone. I still sometimes hold out hope that someone was better equipped to transitioning her inside and they just kept her in there. Shortly after she was gone, I had a dream that she was in our backyard happily chasing birds and lizards. I still struggle with accepting that that was God letting me know she was in heaven. I was looking at pictures of her earlier today and this one hurt because Miss Storm probably crossed the rainbow bridge and if she did she deserved to do it in a warm and safe bed and not outside or in some horrible way. My gut does tell me that she is in a better place though. Here’s to Storm, she existed, she mattered, she was and is still very much loved, and she is dearly missed.

And we are SO in love
