Jenny

Last night we lost one of Madeline's kittens. Jenny was a family favorite - struggling with life from the get go. She was the runt of the litter and due to her brother's huge appitite, she struggled to get enough food when she was young. Once she started eating better and building her strength, she became the alpha of the bunch. She quickly could take down her brother and sister in her playful manner. She also started her hunting skills young and would attack anything that moved. When we found Tiny out in the rock fence, it was Jenny that babied him and acted like his mom. She was very protective of him as well as the other kittens. When she, Tiny & Tubby moved outside, she became very protective of Cupcake's other litter. When Cupcake had to go and hunt, Jenny is the one that would go in and lay with the babies, making sure that they were protected. During one of these outings for Cupcake is when Jenny got in a fight protecting the babies. Sad to say, the oppossum that got her did quite a bit of damage to her. We brought Jenny in and started treating her with medicine and lots of love. Her appitite left her until she was unable to eat anything. We lost her last night between 10:30 and 11:00. She was a wonderful cat and she will be grately missed.
