:sob: Cinders was a rescue black velvet that we picked up from a shelter about 5 years ago. She was originally names Slinky, and her cage mate was Riccochet, more descriptors of their actions when I picked them up at the shelter.
They had been described as two girls who ahd been together 5 years at that time. Both were BV, so we never knew if they were sisters/mom-daughter or what. I felt they were Mom-Daughter. So, I don't know how old Cinders was on Sunday when she was found limp in her cage. She was at least 10.
At the time of her passing, she had given birth to a total of 3 litters (4 babies). None of her babies survived her dues to either premie or a heat wave or unexplained toxic traces. She was the bestest "auntie-chin" to all my weanling girls. If fact, little Moxie was with her to the end.
While she may have been a sweetie to baby chins, she was also my pissing Queen. She was the first to get me in the face. She'd snark and charge you if she didn't want to be held (96% of the time). SHe'd tollerate being scritched under the chin until she remembered it was a human doing it, then she'd try to bite.
I will miss her.
