Gibby
In memory of Gibby. 
Born April, 1996.  Died on May 18, 2002. 
She will live in my heart forever.
This was my Gibby.  I raised her from the time she was six weeks old.
Gibby was always curious about water.  She didn't want to be IN it, but that didn't stop her from playing with it!  One of my most vivid memories is of her sitting on the edge of my bath, little paws all wet from batting at the bubbles!  One time she lost her balance and fell in, which I thought was a lot funnier than she did! 
Gibby always seemed to be concerned when any of us were in the tub.  Here she is making sure that my son, who was 4 months old at the time, was okay in all that water.
I never knew where I would find her.  She seemed to always be looking for the softest bed, but sometimes she would hang out in odd places, like my towel rack in the bathroom!  She had good taste though-those were my good guest towels!
Gibby was our only cat for over a year.  Then, in July of 1997, while moving out of our Whittier apt, we found a stray that we just couldn't leave behind.  Of course, Gibby wasn't crazy about the new cat at first, but eventually the two became playmates, sleepmates, and friends.  But Gibby was always top cat in the house!
December 7, 2004-  Gibby was joined in heaven today by Kunigunde.  She passed away early this morning at the ABC Animal Hospital in Cypress.  She was very ill, and just couldn't hang on long enough for the vet to treat her.  She was a sweetheart to the end, and my last memory is of her purr as I scratched her head in the office.  She will be forever missed.
With the addition of children to our family, Gibby found lots of wonderful new napspots.....
These are just a few of the pictures I have found of Gibby in the last couple of days.  Her death was sudden- she was hit by a car, and it has left a gaping hole in my life.  I still look for her, and listen for the sound of her voice.  I have cried every day since she left, and will cry many more.  Gibby was the beginning of  my family with my husband, and we will never be complete without her.  I would give anything to see her come running to me, to hold her curled up in my arms.  I will always miss her.

I hope to add pictures as I find them.  Come back often.  Gibby and I will be waiting.
