Cat: Peaches (Diluted Tortie) – San Francisco, CA (05/10/1996 – 07/19/2007)
She was the best. Peaches was the one that I thought wouldn’t need me, but she did.
She would butt heads with me, just like a big lion or tiger.
When I brought her home from the SPCA and started calling her Peaches, she would look at me like I was nuts and couldn’t be calling HER Peaches.
She also always had to have the last word and never learned the meaning of the word shut up. Her favorite food was cantaloupe, but it had to be just ripe or she wouldn’t eat it.
I miss her so much and will always wish she were still here.
Animals are a gift. And she was the best.

So touching to read of your precious Peaches.
My Gracie, also a diluted tortie, left me several months ago. She was old and failing, and I had to have her put to sleep when it seemed she was beginning to suffer. Like you, I will always miss her. Even though I have 32 other cats (all rescued), I still miss Gracie. I do have one other diluted tortie, and two regular torties. I think torties have the most beautiful coloring of all cats!
Have you considered giving another SPCA cat a wonderful home? Peaches would love that!
