Mischka

A close up of an open greeting card, landscape format. On the top half are two paw prints taken in black ink, on white paper and mounted on light purple card. Below, the handwritten message reads "Dear (redacted) Family, We are so sorry for the loss of your special girl Mischka. We know she was loved so much and will be deeply missed. Pets leave us with a lovely that lasts forever. Please know that we are all thinking of you during this time. We hope the happy memories shared together over the years can bring you some peace and comfort. Our deepest condolences, The (redacted) Vet Team."

Got a condolence card with Mischka's paw prints from the vet today 🥺

A close up of Mischka the small calico cat's front paw, on top of her mum's hand. A fuzzy warm looking checked blanket is under mum's hand, and is what Mischka is sitting on.

We are holdy hands for the last time

Mischka the small calico cat sits outside in a patch of soil. Her front left paw is a little grubby, while her right back paw is very dirty. It is particularly noticeable against her white fur. In the background are tall weeds and a few trees and bushes, with a blue sunset sky with yellow lit clouds in it.

Wel I'm go out sides for an walk an so what if I'm am get dirty paw? this is aloud for an gorle

Would your consider adding me? I'm always use alt text!

Mischka the small calico cat lies on a white doona, curled up with her head down. The doona is bunched up around her so she is in a sort of little nest.

Mischka's mum here again: Mischka is still very poorly. She has had an antibiotic injection today, and we will see how she feels over the next few days, but it feels like it won't be much longer. Please keep us in your thoughts.

Mischka the small calico cat looks out of the small slots in the side of a blue and grey cat carrier. It is a close up of her face, but not much of her face can really be seen through the slots. What can be seen (her nose and most of one eye) looks pensive or possibly angry, or maybe even a combination of both.

Wel I'm at the got dang VET the gain‼️

... but I'm trying to balance that with not letting her go too soon if there's still some contentment for her. If you have any thoughts to spare, please direct them towards encouraging Mischka to eat a bit more of the food I'm so lovingly pureeing for her every day 🥲

At the vet, Mischka the small calico cat sits on a narrow floating shelf covered in black and grey carpet. Behind her on the wall is a simple single line drawing of a cat, showing that this is in fact the intended use of the shelf.

Mischka's mum here, I just want to give an update: as you may know, Mischka hasn't been very well. She is nearly 19 and it seems that has suddenly caught up with her. There's still a few things left to try, but her quality of life is always going to be my first concern...

Mischka the small calico cat lies curled up in a blue and grey cat carrier on a yellow-green towel. The carrier is on a car seat. She has her head on her front paws, and from here you can't see this, but her eyes are closed.

Exhaustedly by mine ore deal

Mischka the small calico cat sits on a yellow-green towel in a blue and grey cat carrier, her face pressed against the grey wire door. She looks cross.

Wel here I'm am... at the VET AGAIN

Mischka the small calico cat eats from the small stainless steel cat bowl that remains in its position on the bright green bench. Yes - not only does Princess Worm get her food pureed for her, she is also allowed to eat it while on the kitchen bench. What can you do, really?

Wel Mothre jus is blend mine dinner for me of cause that I am the so special gorle

Mischka the small calico cat, as an approximately 4 week old baby, is hunched over a bowl of cat biscuits, munching away. She looks extremely tiny and very adorable. She is on a white plastic table cloth that is resting on a grey linoleum floor with a green swoosh in it and behind her is another soy sauce dish, this one with mousse-style kitten food in it.

Wel it an Trow Back Thirds Day to when I'm am a little tiny baby an just learn to eat solid foods an I'm eating they out of an soy sauce dish that is bigger than mine tiny head

A photo taken from behind Mischka the small calico cat as she leans into the stainless steel kitchen sink, her front paws and head at sink level, her back legs at benchtop level. The angle means that all that can be seen of her is her rear - two back legs, the left at a strange splayed angle, her rump and her tail. The overall effect is "why are cats so weird?"

Wel jus mine bunt

Mischka the small calico cat, sitting on her mum's chest, leans her little head forward so mum can kiss her on it. Moments after this was taken, Mischka then sneezed all over her mum's face, which was very gross. Mum doesn't look all that sick, and is wearing a really cool white and green windcheater that has a T-Rex head of reversible blue/green sequins and reads "Dinos are forever. Tyrannosaurus - Rex".

Mothre is be sick off work an so I'm look after she, an give she kisses, an also maybe sneeze all over she face

Maya the one eyed black cat crouches on top of a magazine that is open on a spread with text to the left and an illustration of a viking boat to the right. The magazine is on a pillow, right up against a neutral coloured suede headboard. Maya looks intently directly at the camera, in a way that seems to be very pointedly drawing attention to the photographer's horrific neglect of the all important patting duties.

NONE READ OF VIKING, ONLY PAY THE TENSION AT ME - Maya

Mischka the small calico cat sits upright on her mum's lap as mum sits on front of a desk with computer gear on it. Mum is patting Mischka's little head with her left hand, and is caught mid-pat such that Mischka's ears cannot be seen. Mischka has her eyes mostly closed and looks very contented about the situation.

Is this what is meaning by an burgir?

Gilligan the boofy classic tabby boy lies on a red pillow, head up but eyes barely open. He was anaesthetised for a procedure earlier in the day, and the only time he showed any animation in the time since then was when dinner was served. Otherwise he was in this slightly befuddled, drowsy state.

A close up of Mischka's neat little front paws as she sits in the corner on brown tile. Her feet are close together and very slightly turned out and look very elegant.

A bird's eye view of Mischka the small calico cat sitting neatly - and more importantly, quietly - in the very corner of the toilet room while waiting for her mum (not pictured) to finish her ablutions. The toilet floor is of rather unattractive brown tile and looks as though it is dirty, however please don't judge as this is all staining that will not come off.

Wel I'm is been so politely gorle whilst Mothre is go on toilet

A zoom in of the original photo, showing a grubby white and grey kitten, clearly snapped in the process of yelling.

Starting to toddle an having of opinion

Taken from just above and behind Mischka's head, this photo shows the view she has out of the (rather dirty) window, into a small courtyard with a waist high wall and two tall pillars marking the entrance. Standing just at this entrance is a calico torby looking warily towards the camera. She is not afraid of Mischka, whom she was on her way to argue with through the glass, but hasn't liked the arrival of Mischka's mum in paparazzi mode. The courtyard is paved with sand coloured bricks and has many weeds and a few potted plants in it.

‼️Who dis‼️

An extreme close up of a portion of Mischka the small calico cat's face, out of focus and also showing motion blur, as she leans forward to sniff the mobile phone. Her blurry pink nose and part of one eye are all that can really be discerned.

POV: Wel I'm sniff

Mischka the small calico cat walks through medium sized weeds in the bright sunlit back yard. She is walking away from the camera, to the top right of frame, and you can see she is walking with a purposeful gait, which usually means she has some idea in her little catty brain that she thinks her mum would not approve of.

Goodbye Mothre, I'm have got places to be

A selfie of Mischka's mum, with dual computer monitors reflecting on her glasses, showing she is hard at work. In the mid-background, hunched over on an armchair that has been clawed to within an inch of its life, is Gilligan the boofy tabby cat. He is looking towards the camera and you can just make out that he has his mouth slightly open, the better to make an extremely annoying and mournful miaow at this horrific neglect. Further in the background can be seen white bookshelves, on with books on it and one with a range of rocks, minerals, fossils and ornaments behind glass doors.

POV: he's is behind your!

A birds eye view of Maya the one eyed black cat as she lies in her mum's lap in a classic loaf position. Mum is wearing pink otter-themed pyjamas and had been looking at her phone while sitting on the bed, when Maya came over and first sat perched on mum's leg, then decided to go the whole hog and lie down, trapping mum's arm beneath her. In the photo mum's left hand can be seen poking out from underneath Maya, who is gently purring in satisfaction.

TRAP MAMA ARM UNDER ME - Maya

Nova the small ticked ginger tabby is in the foot well of a car, in a cat carrier. She has her ears not quite as flat as they can go, but not far off, and her head down with her chin resting on a maroon towel. Her pupils are dilated and she looks as though she is having an extremely terrible day. She was given gabapentin for the first time but was so traumatised by the process of being put into the carrier that it has had very little effect.

POV your is Mothre an your has most cruelle traumatise mine adoptied sistre Nova by put she in BOX an put she in CAR and take she to VET and Frank lee she ear might never go upwards again

Mischka the small calico cat is on an examination table at the vet, firmly swaddled in a beige towel so only her head sticks out, and with her head being held firmly yet carefully by a vet's hands. Mischka's expression looks somewhere between murderous and resigned. Meanwhile in the background another vet's hands can be seen, preparing to take a blood sample. That's right, this is a two vet job.

‼️‼️‼️🚨🚨🚨

Mischka the small calico cat lies in a very strange position, on her stomach but with her back high and rounded, and with her head as face down as it is possible to be. Presumably she is keeping her nose warm, as despite being officially springtime it was very cold here today.

Wel I'm jus is sleep vary normality

Maya the one eyed black cat lies on the top of a cardboard moving box, rolling over to greet her mum as mum (not pictured) walks into the room. Unfortunately she is performing this manoeuvre at the very edge of the box and so is posed a split second before rolling off the box altogether and falling. It's also rather unfortunate that this was a still rather than a video, which would have captured the amusing if undignified sequel to be this shot, but you can't have everything.

POV your is present at the momentously occasion when mine adoptied sistre Maya is discover the force of gravity and make breakthrough in physics

Oahe thank your
