I went over to see MIL today and she is missing her and she says thank you so much for all your kind words. She is 85 herself so not a PC buff.
I told her about it.
She said that she didn't want it to sound bad but she feels a bit relieved because she knows Moo isn't in pain any more. She felt helpless because she couldn't do anything for her.
Moo's real name was Hiedi.
Apparently MIL late husband called her Moo because she kept getting herself stuck in tight corners.
She was an ugly critter but beautiful in her own way and I don't think mil would have changed her for the world.
Several people who used to see her on the front door step made comments on the lovely stone cat orniment on the step.
She did love a good bake in a warm place.
