Today, I said “good-bye” to a very dear cat companion and friend, whom I was very much blessed with for nearly two years to have gotten to know. Her name was Negritia, which means “dark” or “black”. She had battled in the last couple of weeks from bone cancer on the left jaw. I met Negritia early May of 2008. She had a hard life, was a rescue with another cat, named Nala, having passed not long afterwards, (Nala), a beautiful gray and white long hair cat from FIP. She and I had it off right away in friendship.
