CATMAY RIP

Our barn cat of 14 years had to be put down yesterday.  She was not able to swallow her food anymore.  It all started with a cut under her tongue which was stitched up at the vet clinic, but just did not heal.  We were feeding her with a syringe, but that was also not working the last few days.  We will miss her.

Catmay found us at the lower cowcamp on the Martinell Ranch in the Centennial Valley.  This camp is located east of Lima, MT about 22 miles.  We figure she must have gotten in a vehicle and hitched a ride from town.  She was estimated to be about 6 months old when she showed up.  She adopted our dog Zeus as her kid and would bring him mice and gophers, which he refused to eat.  They really were buddies though - probably chasing each other around right now!!

Catmay loved sitting in the sunshine and watching the turkeys when they would come through the yard.
