I think I'm ready

To tell you about Izzy without balling.
Izzy was my calico kitty of 13 years, I'd had her since college. She was a nut! She loved stealing my hair ties and chasing bread ties. She loved catnip and people food. She broke several glasses in her life, simply pushing them off the table as if to see what happened. I always jept a purple collar and bell on her to know where she was and what trouble she was getting into . She slept in my feet, in Bob's chair or in her kennel. She made quite a few sounds from an almost chirp to a howl, but rarely just a normal meow. She snored as mych as she purred! She wanted to chew on plastic bags and always tried to run outside in the summer when you opened the door. Like most cats she loved laying in the sun and hated abrupt noises. She preferred to drink her water from a running source and ate diet food for years because she was a chunky house cat. She didn't care for other cats, ceiling fans or kids. She loved licking tuna cans and I wish I'd had the chance to put some on Lulu to see if Izzy would lick her. Lulu tried to lick Izzy on several occasions, some were tolerated, some ended with hissing. Lulu shared her water with Izzy which was a surprise and the closest they ever were to my dream of them liking each other. Izzy was an independent cat, didn't care much for interacting or lap sitting, but she kept us entertained, was a cutie and will greatly be missed. (this is from my phone, but I'll post pics soon)
