## A Little Bit About Jetty

Jetty was a very special little boy with a big personality and an even bigger heart.

Jetty was cheeky, curious, chatty, and full of character. He had the most adorable little vampire fangs, a distinctive meow for just about every occasion, and a funny habit of announcing when he'd woken up — usually followed by a trip to find something to eat. He loved his food, especially when someone was willing to feed him from a spoon, and he often ended up with pâté smeared across his little face.

He was a boy who appreciated life's simple pleasures. A warm patch of sunshine, a comfortable place to sleep, a good belly scratch, or a little extra attention could make his day. He loved having his face scratched, his bum patted, and his paws gently held. When he was especially content, he'd stretch out his little toes and let out a happy meow.

He had a way of making his presence known throughout the house. Whether it was the sound of his little toenails clicking across the floor, his loud purring, his frequent snoring, or his unmistakable voice, you always knew when Jetty was nearby.

Despite his difficult beginnings, Jetty had so much love to give. He adored other animals, was wonderfully accepting of dogs, and shared his life with Annie and Doof. He loved being close to his people, following us around the house, curling up for cuddles, and simply being part of whatever we were doing.

As he got older, his love of comfort never faded, but he discovered a whole new joy in being outside (supervised). He loved feeling the grass beneath his paws, soaking up the sunshine, watching the squirrels, and taking in all the sights and sounds around him.

Jetty was gentle, funny, resilient, affectionate, and just a little bit mischievous. He had his own routines, preferences, and funny little quirks, and those were the things that made him so unmistakably himself.

He wasn't just a cat who lived in our home. He was part of the rhythm of our everyday lives, a constant source of comfort, laughter, companionship, and love.

And for almost ten wonderful years, I had the privilege of being his mom.
