Wordless Wednesday — In Memory of Minou

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.

Now it’s your turn… add your Wordless Wednesday link below.
