On her last day, I was reminded more of our first days together than any others. Just less fierce, less scary. She was a scrappy thing with a tiny body and big ears. She hated most everyone, but for some reason, she trusted me (which was ridiculous because I was not a cat lover).
I never had cats growing up and, if anything, I was kind of afraid of them. And if I was going to be afraid of any cat, it should have been Hazel. But I wasn't. We spent the next 15, almost 16, years together.
Rest in peace my relentless hunter, sweet beauty, gentle and loyal girl, my all around bad-ass. We miss you so much.

So sorry dearest Shannon...she was so lucky to have you as her cat-mama. I'll miss her too. I'll never forget sweet little hazelbean following me into the woods..glad I got to know her. xooxoxox
Sorry, Shannon. I'll miss Hazel too. It always felt really nice to come home and have her bounce over into the yard and hang out for a second. She was a sweet lady and the undisputed Cat-Queen of the hill.
Thanks you guys. She was a lucky girl to have so many good people loving her :)
