Wordless Wednesday — In Memory of Minou

Written by Janice

Minou — you will be missed.

Updated: I should add that Minou was my in law’s cat, not ours personally. But my husband and our kids loved him dearly! Because I am allergic to cats, Minou was the closest my family could get to having our own.

P.S. To answer Neisha’s question, ‘Minou’ means ‘pussycat’ in French. My husband’s family is from Quebec.

Sorry to hear about your in-laws cat. I know it’s hard to lose a pet — we lost our beloved boston 6 years ago and still to this day my kids talk about him. TFS

Sheree Warner @ 10:18 am

You, your family and in-laws have my deepest sympathy over the passing of Minou. I have 7 cats and they are part of the family. A part of your heart will be missing, I know I lost one during the winter and I still grieve daily. Mine looked a lot like Minou. Hugs, Sheree
