My cat Gigi just died. She was a good cat for the 11 years I had her and I'm sad to let her go. My house is going to feel quiet for quite some time

Sorry to hear this sad news. Gigi was beautiful. I had a mackerel tabby, too, but mine was short-haired. He was also mine for a little over 11 years and I miss him every day. I hope your heart heals soon.
