Description
Fluff was a cat belonging to a friend of mine. She was a stray early in her life before being taken in by my friend so her exact year of birth is unknown, but we think she'd made it to the grand old age of about 20 years old which is good going for a cat! I've often fed and played with Fluff (and my friend's other cats) while my friend is on holiday so I got to know her fairly well. Although she permanently looked stern she was actually very sweet, with a lovely loud purr when stroked. Fluff never took any nonsense from other cats and even in her advancing years would barge the younger and stronger cats out of the way if she wanted some of their food.I got a DD for one of my photos of her (titled "Queen Fluff") from when she must have been around 15 years (and looking very fine for her age):
She had epilepsy for many years and for the past couple of years she'd become fairly arthritic in her hips/back legs, had also gone deaf and her eyesight hasn't been great, but she soldiered on and my friend and her family have done an excellent job of looking after her (and I've done my bit when my friend was on holiday). Sadly Fluff's health had finally deteriorated to the point where my friend took the tough decision that it was kindest for Fluff to say goodbye to her and help her cross rainbow bridge.
So Rest In Peace Fluff.

I am sure you are missing her. I just lost my old Boo girl last year. I still look for her sometimes for a split second. I know how you are feeling.
She is having fun at Rainbow Bridge and you will see her again.

Goodbye, Fluff. May you watch your owner from the stars and be well taken care of, until you two meet again <3
She sounds a lot like one of my older cats (actually my mother's), Sinbad. Sinbad was very well loved, and lived almost until age 19! But, similarly, she seemed like a grumpy kitty to some people, but actually was very sweet. She loved gentle pets and sometimes would cuddle. Though, she also fetched toy mice like a dog O.o
I'm sorry, I'm a random person, but thought I'd come in to at least comment! It's hard losing pets, but it is not a forever thing. They'll be seen again someday <3

Thank you for your lovely comment, much appreciated!
Sinbad does sound similar to Fluff! Fluff wouldn't fetch toys though - she was actually an extremely adept hunter (probably from her time as a stray) although the demonstrations of her skills were terribly pleasant at times for her owner finding the aftermath either in the garden or even the house!
I lost two of my own cats to illness a few years ago, both within 6 months of one another, and that was very tough. But I did then bring two kittens into the household and while they never replace the old friends they do become new friends to share your life with.

You're very welcome! I'm a kitty lover <3
Ahahah! Aww, Fluff was just taking care of her owner XD I think I've read somewhere that when dead animals from cats are found in the house, the cat is merely making sure their owner is well-fed :3 Unfortunately, it's actually really gross to us humans XD My cats are not the most intelligent creatures. They're unable to catch spiders, truthfully XD
Sounds similar to my mother. We lost Sinbad, and for a while, she couldn't even look at Sinbad's carrier for when we took her to the vet, even though the cat hated that thing. Eventually, she decided she wanted another cat, and... Then came the two furballs we have now! Unfortunately their intelligence levels are nowhere near Sinbad's, but they're just as cuddly and loving <3
