Pretty Kitty "Meow" Van Hoose


Pretty Kitty "Meow" Van Hoose
1998 - 2010
We said goodbye to our wonderful cat Tuesday, Dec. 21. He was 12 years old. Pretty Kitty came to live with the Van Hoose twins, Kristin and Tracie, as a kitten 12 years ago in Anaheim, California. While there he made friends with the other cats and dogs and people he lived with. In 2007, he moved with the whole entourage to Utah and a year later, came to live with this Van Hoose family. He was loved by all who had the privilege of having him as a pet. He was wonderful with kids - loving to snuggle up close to them. It was many a morning that we'd find him curled in a ball next to Lucy or Sammy - he even helped Lucy get to sleep some nights. He was so patient with her too - never scratching her unless she really, really deserved it. He loved to steal food from our plates, keeping us on our toes and earning him the nickname "mendigo" or beggar in Spanish. He was most commonly known around our house as "Meow" though. That was Lucy's name for him. We will miss this wonderful member of our family. Rest in peace little one.

That's so sad. I'm sorry.
