The May ‘Pet Story Contest Winner’ is Sadra who wrote about her cats, Sassy and Merlin:
This is my beautiful, beloved Sassy (top photo). I assisted with her birth over nineteen years ago, and from that very moment, I realized that she was very special. She was so beautiful, but she was also sweet and loving, and she became my constant companion, my friend, my confidant.
As the years passed, there were many changes in my life; my children grew up and left for homes of their own, I moved away from my home to work in another state, my husband died suddenly, and through it all, Sassy was there with me.
About three years ago, when Sassy was sixteen years old, she began to show her age very quickly and I was afraid I would soon lose her. It was at this time that my wonderful new friends, Rob and Dana Gourley introduced me to Watt-Ahh®. From the first bowl of Watt-Ahh®, Sassy was like her old self again; She was once again as playful as when she was a kitten, appeared to not have a care in the world, and never drank anything other than Watt-Ahh® thereafter.
Although Sassy passed on this past February, I remain convinced that Watt-Ahh gave us three more years together, and those years were the mot precious of all.
There aren't words to describe how deeply I felt the loss of my beloved Sassy... I was so devastated, my children became concerned and even worried.
Within a week of Sassy's passing, my daughter, Jessica came down from Knoxville to spend some time with me. …Jessica announced that she wasn't leaving until I had another kitty - and Jessica can be relentless. Before I knew it, we were on our way to look at a kitten I didn't want. I could tell from the pictures that it didn't have Sassy's sweet flat face - and on top of that, it was a boy. - Then I picked him up and his little heart was pounding...
I'm so grateful to Jessica for forcing that kitten on me….and as I’ve said, Jessica can be relentless. He's the best medicine I could have had. The name Merlin has turned out to suit him well also (see second photo). He's full of energy and life and also very sweet and loving. I'm hoping to have him in my life for a long, long time, so of course, other than the occasional dip in the pool, he drinks nothing but Watt-Ahh®.
