Onyx & Savou's dad call to let us know that Savou died yesterday. She had been suffering from effects of liver disease for a long time. She was such a sweet kitty and we'll miss her too. Mom and dad wrote this lovely memorial for her.
Savou
1994 -2006
She didn't care for birds.
Of the outdoors she was wary,
Prefering indoor comforts
And a schedule that didn't vary.
Her coat black & carmel
Streaked with dark brown,
Her face was a patchwork
Like a harlequin clown.
In front of a heat vent
On tummies & laps,
Just a few of the places
She liked to take naps.
It may sound a bit odd
But she'd raise up her shanks,
If while at her food bowl
You gave her some spanks.
So nice and so sweet,
Yet how could she be,
At the same time
So coy and persnickidy?
We'll never forget
That rolly polly little kitty,
Who Lorrie named Savou
But Doug called Kiggy.
