Princess was a lovely, stately
grey lady with a taste for milk and
eggnog. (specially if it's spiked with a little tiny bit
of brandy at holiday time).
Princess was very smart and continually proved it by
reading the computer screen - she recognized the word
MILK and would immediately start teasing Joe for a treat
if he didn't cover it on the screen and she accidentally
saw it.
Once she tricked Joe out of his tuna sandwich by luring
him into another room, then dashing to the food.
When Joe came back, his sandwich was gone and Princess
was looking smug.
She had been known
to hide his keys when he'd been overworking and once
pushed LB off the couch after
luring her into an empty box. Too clever.

She was starting to
slow, but that isn't unusual at 18. She knew it was time
to go, but leaving Joe must have been as hard for her as
letting her go was for him. She waited to tell Joe
goodbye, giving them both a final happy memory; she
settled in his lap where she knew she was safe and
loved, closed her eyes and slept, purring.
