Rest in peace, Zoe.

The Dowager has died at 19.  She had a long and good life, active and content until the end. Eventually the steroids which had kept her in good health for so long did too much damage to her kidneys.

Susan got Zoe has a kitty shortly after her Mom died.  Zoe was herself separated from her mother very early, which probably contributed to her unusual personality. Susan recalls Zoe as a tiny fluffball hissing at the vet during her first visit. She mellowed in her later years.

She was a good cat and will be missed.
