Today I lost my companion and best friend of 18 yrs. I adopted her as a kitten from PetsMart and her fur was dusted with gray or white which she lost 2 weeks later to become the sleekest, darkest black. Her bright green/yellow eyes really stood out in contrast to her fur. Of course, I did not know she had a kinked tail until I got her home along with a number of quirks. Phoebe was named after a goddess because of the silver over coat of fur. Little did I know that would have a profound effect on her since she did act and expect to be treated like a goddess.
Phoebe was also a greeter. An outgoing cat, she would greet guests, family and especially trick or treaters with a friendly chirrup. Her vet thought she might be part or all Manx (many do have tails).
Though she would be tempermental at times & without warning, I would not trade my life with her for anything in the world. Phoebe always was and will always be my best girl! I miss you so terribly much.
