“Perfect Toothless”, as the loving City-Kitty staff called her, was adopted from a rescue event in Washington, PA, in 2004. Her bright yellow eyes and outgoing personality charmed me immediately – it was love at first sight. She was always a soft, affectionate and proud kitty; she balanced her cuteness with a huge and demanding personality that filled every room and made her the implicit queen of the house, blissfully ruling over us and a couple of german shepherds for almost 17 years. From taking down our Christmas trees as a kitten to spending every night with her little body curled up on my pillow, she was a constant presence that made my life fuller and happier. I will forever miss her morning meows demanding food that she would then not touch until much later, her purrs and chitters, her love for catnip toys and kitty grass and the best of all, those times when she would ask for affection and give a headbop or a kiss, purring contentedly while being with me. Toothie, wherever you are, there is a void in our hearts in your shape.
