Her official name was 47. I diaried her rescue story
a few years ago. Long story short: We discovered her and her kitten in our backyard in September of 2012 and started feeding them. We caught the kitten and brought her to a shelter, but the Mama cat was a much more difficult catch. She lived on our porch through the winter. Some, ahem, gentlecat callers visited. By June, we were the proud owners of Mama and her three little kittens.
We found the three kittens good homes. We kept Mama, whom we had dubbed 47, since she was our little moocher, in dishonor of one Willard "Mitt" Romney.
She passed away yesterday afternoon due to kidney failure.
