Friends, Phyliz encouraged me to share this sad news about our cat Mocha in this thread; I didn't realize it existed...
It's with a heavy heart that I share with you that our beloved cat Mocha has moved on to the Rainbow Bridge. She reached the age of 14 despite fighting off some serious diseases. Friends who knew Mocha have mentioned her gentle and sweet personality. She was a wonderful companion and friend to my husband and I.
She especially loved our "chair pets" where she would climb to the top of a Lazy-Boy chair, and I would stand behind her petting her under her chin (her favorite spot), and she would knead her paws and purr. Even on Wednesday morning, despite her age and illness, she climbed to the back of the chair; however, her breathing became stressed that day, and we called a mobile service called "Home to Heaven", and the vet arrived at our home about midnight. It was nice to be able to keep Mocha at home, in the place that she was comfortable and loved. She never liked getting in the carrier or going to the vets, so I am glad we were able to do this for her. My husband held her in his arms, and I kissed her forehead. She knew she was loved, and we will never forget all the love and companionship that she gave to us.
Mocha was an ocicat, with a beautiful spotted coat and lovely green and gold eyes that could see into your soul. She was very athletic,easily jumping from the floor to table or chair, and leaping across a distance from one spot to another. She loved to play with her catnip sock and string. She had a very good life, but we will surely miss her in ours.
