Aida came from a co-worker who had taken in a pregnant stray. I had just buried Ragamuffin, who had been my companion for 17 years, and my life felt empty without a cat, so I took Aida. She was a very sweet cat, even more sweet than she was pretty, so I enjoyed her presence. She was very healthy until the end, when she apparently contracted some neurological condition, and despite the vets' best efforts she crossed over the Rainbow Bridge.

She will always be with me in spirit, along with Ragamuffin and all the other cats I have known and loved.
