Patches was born on September 25th, 2000 from her mother Hollywood from a litter of about a half-dozen kittens. Her family adopted her at 8 weeks old with her brother, Linus. She was shy and reserved, and stayed near her brother the first couple of days.
As time went by, Patches bloomed into a loving, playful kitten. She would often play with her brother. She was the boss of the two, eating out of his bowl and bossing the family dog around. She really was a princess, and she knew it.
She became sad for weeks after her brother died at only a few years of age. Later on she became used to being the only family pet.
She thrived under all the attention she got. She always was a plump cat, loving her sun rays and always leading her family members to a patio door to be petted in the sun. She was vocal, purred often, and loved cuddling with her family. She liked to head-boop her family to show her affection.
Sadly, Patches developed a severe thyroid problem and had seizures. To end her suffering, her family chose to put her to sleep at 16 years old.
Rest in peace you wonderful kitty <3 and thank you for all the wonderful memories!
