My baby girl died suddenly on May the 16th. She was 18 years old. We moved from Western Australia to South Australia together.
It's been an awful month without her. I miss her terribly. I've cried every day.
Kami was an extraordinary cat. She had long conversations with me, sent me to bed when I was tired and told me to fuck off when I was annoying. Kami-Bear knew just who she was and what she wanted. Higly intelligent and highly vengeful. She reminded me of Elizabeth I. Such a grumpy willful personality, but she always was there to take care of me when I was sick. She never left my side whenever I was stuck in bed.
Kami is my bestest and oldest friend.
My precious girl. I'll love her forever. <3 <3 <3

This was Kami watching the wall and talking to it. Dementia made her fascinated with one wall in the house.

She was quite determined not to fall asleep this night. Lying on my legs while I read in bed, her head kept dropping and waking her.

Initially very wary of grass, it became her favourite place to lie in the sun. I remember when she was 4 years old and we moved into a house. Kami refused to even step on the grass at first, but within a few months she was lolling about in the dirt on top of my plants, crushing them to make herself comfy in the sunshine.


Our evenings, reading in bed together. She stayed with me like this every time MS has made me ill too. I always had her company. Like Nana from Peter Pan, only Kami was my shadow and there's no Wendy to sew her back on.
"Sheesh Mum, what do you want??"
High-level purring - that's a happy girl.
