On Saturday, 02/02/08, Opal, th Siamese from Hell entered the Summer Country. She died from a deterioration of her physical systems , not her mental ones. (Try being 140 years plus and keeping things going.)
She will be missed greatly (saved my ass many times.)
Her Obit:
Opal, “the Catâ€â€¦ Siamese Queen
Â
1987 to  February 2, 2008
Â
Born in Indiana as a Breeder, escaped to New Orleans and then made the round trip to SoCal and back as a member of the Exiles of the 2005 Flood of her home.
Â
She will be greatly missed, especially that “AACCKKK!†voice of hers. Loved her belly rubs and petting… purred like a fool all the way to the end.
Â
We both love her dearly. You’ll be missed sweetie. The other Katz here miss you too. (They can’t play with your tail now.)
Â
“See you in the Summer Country, Miss Opalâ€
Right now I’m beside myself. Opal was my friend and my Familiar for years. Now I have ten Familiars to take her place, and she still presides as the Leader of the Host.
Beyond this I’m not allowed to speak.
