About 11 years ago a beautiful lady came to me from my Vet, he had refered her to me as she had just lost her beloved cat of many years and was in need of a new love. She was looking for a older cat as she was a "older" lady, she said she was in her late 70's but I could see she was a tad older then that.. Her 'driver' winked when she said it.. Every one called her MIZ Vivian..She was always in a very colorful hat, gloves, and shoes to match..Bright colors, Red, Yellow, Pink, Purple and so on, her hats were big 'Picture hats " of the old 20's movie stars. I had seen her in the local store a few time.. anyway she fell in love with one of my "Older" girls, Sage, who was almost 10 yrs old. Sage was the mother of Simba and Big Stuff and the litter mate and sister to Lion, I was retiring Sage.. Sage climbed in her lap and purred, so I knew it was a match. Sage still needed to be spayed but MIZ Viv said she would take her to my vet and have it done as she didn't want to spend another day alone or with out Sage to hold, so off they went in her car.. it was a kind of "Driving Miss Daisy " kind of thing 
For several year I had seen MIZ Viv in the store and she would tell me about "Contessa" that was the new name she gave to Sage.. she loved her so much , each time I saw the car and driver in a parking lot I would stop and go in to see Miz Vivian and hear her new stories of her beloved "Contessa".. It's been a while since I saw her, and of coarse thought by now Sage had to have passed on.. I herd yesterday from my Vet that Miz Vivian had passed 2 months ago and Sage passed 8 months ago! She had Sage's ashes in a vase and they were buried with her.. Miz Vivian was 99, sage was almost 22.
