Our dear, sweet Holly Hoo passed away this last Friday, just as her sister Molly Mae did over a year ago from the same illness. We knew it could happen at any time, but that didn't make it any easier. Both Holly and Molly lived long lives and brought joy to our family. Molly was the more serious and smart one, and Holly was the more silly, quirky, and people lovin' one; not that Molly wasn't loving, she just showed it in a different way. Holly loved people and would show it by rubbin' on them... nonstop sometimes, which was a bit annoying at times, but cute as well. We miss them both. We brought them home the same year we moved in the house we're in now (you can read more about that here), so it's a big change having them both gone now.Here are some pics of our sweet Holly Hoo...
She was a silly...
lazy...
lovable cat.
We called the thing around her neck the 'cone of shame'. I don't remember how we came up with that name for it, but it stuck over the years (whenever a pet needed to wear one). Holly had to wear the cone for a couple of weeks; poor thing. She had surgery on her stomach and had to wear it to keep her from chewing or licking on the stitches. She had the surgery in August.
Bailey was gentle with Holly after her surgery...
even after the cone came off.
Caitie gave Holly lots of attention. I took this pic a couple of days before Holly passed on.
We love and miss you, Holly Hoo... you will always be in our hearts.
