Kiki Renee` Hudgins-Ludwig 1993-2009

It has taken me all day to get on my computer and finally write about losing my beloved Kiki yesterday. She was my constant, faithful, reliable, and beautiful kitty cat of 16 years. She passed away yesterday March 5, 2009 at 2:22am after losing her battle to kidney failure due to old age. She was 16 years old but in cat years she was 112, lol.

I first brought Kiki home in May of 1993. It was Mother's Day and I was 20 years old. My mom and dad's neighbor were remolding their house and one of the workers who was working on the house brought a box of kittens and just left them there on their porch when the work was finished. So at the time my little brother Anthony was friends with our neighbors boys and he asked us if we wanted a kitten. I immediately jumped up and ran to the kitten box and picked the most cutest little kitty of the whole bunch. She was gray and white and fluffy. I was once told she looked like a mixture of a Main Coon and Domestic Short hair cat. I was overjoyed with love. At first I named her Misty Grey cause of her color but changed it to Kiki cause I was always saying, "come here kitty kitty kiki poo". She just looked like a Kiki to me =)

My beloved Kiki has been by my side through thick and thin, through house moves, marriages, birth of Natalie, divorce, and death. She had here own litter of kittens when she was 2 years old cause mommy let her outside one day and she disappeared for 24 driving mommy crazy with fear and panic but eventually she came home and we soon found out she was pregnant. She gave birth to only three kittens in March of 1995. I was the proud grandma coaching her through labor and delivery. She did an excellent job!!!!! I kept one of her kittens and named her Squeeky cause when she meowed she squeeked, lol. Sadly, Squeeky passed away in 2007 due to a viral infection.

I miss my Kiki Wiki like crazy. I buried her last night at 6:00pm with my brother, my sister-in-law, my mom and my little girl Naty. It was a very nice burial service. I thank God that she is no longer in pain. I believe toward the end she was in a lot of pain. Rest in heavenly peace my beautiful mamas. I love you today, I love you tomorrow and most of all I love you FOREVER!!!!
