Lucy passed away on 20 July 2001.
In her own unique way she was a great companion and will be sadly missed.
Lucy spent the first 10 years of her life with my sister and brother in law. When they visited New Zealand in 1997 she came to stay with me together with their other cat Charlie who passed away in 2005.

Fifteen months ago Lucy was diagnosed with kidney failure which is a common disease in cats and for which there is no cure. However, with regular medication she had a pleasant last fifteen months to her life and is now at peace.
