Lovely Cookie

I am writing this so I can remember all the great times we had with Cookie.
She is sick and I want to make sure I don't forget anything about this little great girl.

She is ex-stray, and she wanted a home so badly.
She would "Errrrghhhh" to us and Danny, to communicate and make us know she was there and she wanted us , because she knows, humans are not so clever and they will understand better if she was vocal about her expressions.

I respect her.
She made her own destiny out of her will, and found us. We could not help but see her lovely personality, and loving nature.

We decided to adopt her from the streets on my 35th birthday. At the time she was expected to be 1 1/2 half years old. So her birthday became April 16th, which is my half birthday.
When we brought her home, she sat on my lap continuously for the rest of the day, purring.
I think that she was afraid, but more afraid that we were not going to adopt her, so she showed us that she was happy to be taken in.
I laid down on the couch with her on my lap that day, and every time I stroked her, she would look up and say, "eghh", and lift her head to my hand to show her happiness.

We did not know if she was staying with us, because she did not look comfortable in our house that is already occupied with other cats, and especially because she was scared of Hime. Hime would chase her, maybe not necessarily out of meanness, but curiosity, and Cookie did not like that.
She would sit by herself in the bathroom or by the kettle, and that made me sad.
But she made friends with Mieszky right away. She understood his kind gentle nature and she would snuggle up to him. They used to sit together , or sit on my lap together , being Major Lap Cats.

She loved Shane a lot too.
She would sit on his lap immediately when it was available, and would do "Euuggghh!" when it wasn't , and come try to sit on it.

We did an experiment.
Shane would sit, and tap his lap twice , and Cookie would come jump up and get on his lap.
He would take her off, and call "Cookilns", again, and tap his lap twice, and she would come back and sit on his lap.
He did this up to six times and she came every single time!
She was a determined Lap Cat!
