At the shelter, we saw this scared little kitten with sage-green eyes and what looked like a drop of peroxide in the brown fur on her head – a head that was too small for the rest of her little body.
We brought you home on Halloween, and while we were discussing names, Jeff was eating some Reese’s Pieces, and we had your name, Reese, a.k.a. Reese’s Pieces or just Pieces.
Despite his initial annoyance, you won Sullivan over in no time, and you became lifelong best friends.
The two of you were inseparable.
You were beyond stubborn and tried to outlive all of us.
But at 19 1/2, you had done all you could.
Because of your stubbornness, there were times you were a massive pain. You wanted what you wanted, and there was no deterring you.
But there were also times you were incredibly sweet and silly.
You went nuts for your “kitty crack” and would start drooling from that catnip high.
Toward the end, one of your favorite things was a warm bed directly out of the dryer. You expected there to be one for you in every load of laundry and were disappointed that your humans couldn’t make that happen every single time.
We tried to provide one whenever possible and make you comfortable as long as we could.
Goodbye, Pieces, with the peroxide spot on your little head. Rest well.
