Goodbye Patches

Yesterday Matt and I were on our way home from Ohio when my mom called and told us that their cat was not doing well...not well at all. Mom told us a few weeks back that Patches kidneys were failing, so this phone call was to be expected. Unfortunately, they had to put Patches down yesterday. Patches was our cat growing up. We bought her when I was in 8th grade and she certainly was a good cat...a unique one. Here are her top 5 unique traits:
1. When she wanted to come out of the laundry room, she could open the door with her paws herself.
2. She could play catch with you.
3. She always stood her ground when Liddy (our dog) tackled her.
4. She could turn on the water faucet on. Even when mom and dad put a rubber band to hold the faucet in it's place, Patches still found a way to untangle it and turn it on again.
5. She could make Matt sneeze 5 times in a row. He still loved her...
