Looking into her eyes, makes me remember who she was, how she came into my life and how special she has been in it.
Mirar sus ojos, me hace recordar quien era, como vino a mi vida y lo especial que ha sido en ella.

Siempre me abuela me decía cuando era pequeña, que no podía mantener o tener bien a una mascota no la tuviera. Pero para mí, los gatos son más que mascotas, son parte de mi familia, como hijos. Los que sienten esto mismo me entenderán, porque no a todos les ocurre.
Ahora mismo escribo y estoy rodeada de sus fotografías, porque esto ocurrió hace demasiados años, allá entre el 2001 y 2002. Ha pasado tanto tiempo, han pasado 22 años. Y en esa época no tenía ni teléfono celular, pero si una cámara analógica, de esas que usaban rollo. ¿Las recuerdan? También tenía una pequeña que era digital, de las primeras que salieron o más bien que podíamos tener. Luego de algún tiempo tuve un celular con el cual tomarle fotos aunque no eran de altísima calidad.
La mayoría de las fotografías que tengo de Tuty son en el jardín de mi casa en Argentina, dentro de la casa salían muy oscuras. Le encantaba estar en el jardín, era su guardiana.
Recuerdo que era una gata que veía en la medianera de mi casa y la del vecino. Ella en realidad era mascota de mi vecina, había tenido gatitos y la vecina le daba pastillas para que no tenga más.
Pero un día me la encontré en mi jardín comiendo caracoles, en su casa no podía comer. Había tantos perros que ella siempre estaba sobre los muebles para que no la corran y además le quitaban la comida. Por lo que venía a mi jardín para ver si encontraba algo de comer.
Saben amo a los gatos, como podía resistirme a esa belleza. Pero cuando la encontré en esas circunstancias no estaba tan linda como en las fotos, sino que estaba raquítica y el pelo todo graso y pegado la piel. Pobrecita estaba muerta de hambre y le di de comer.
My grandmother always told me when I was little, that I couldn't keep or have a pet if I didn't have one. But for me, cats are more than pets, they are part of my family, like children. Those of you who feel the same way will understand me, because it doesn't happen to everyone.
Right now I am writing and surrounded by their photographs, because this happened too many years ago, back in 2001 and 2002. So much time has passed, 22 years have passed. And at that time I didn't even have a mobile phone, but I did have an analogue camera, the kind that used film. Do you remember them? I also had a small one that was digital, one of the first ones that came out, or rather that we could have. After some time I had a mobile phone with which to take photos of it, although they were not of the highest quality.
Most of the photographs I have of Tuty are in the garden of my house in Argentina, inside the house they were very dark. She loved to be in the garden, she was her guardian.
I remember she was a cat that I used to see in my house and the neighbour's house. She was actually my neighbour's pet, she had had kittens and the neighbour gave her pills so she wouldn't have any more.
But one day I found her in my garden eating snails, in her house she couldn't eat. There were so many dogs that she was always on the furniture so they wouldn't run her off and they were taking her food. So she would come to my garden to see if she could find something to eat.
You know I love cats, how could I resist that beauty. But when I found her in those circumstances she wasn't as pretty as in the pictures, she was stunted and her fur was all greasy and stuck to her skin. Poor thing was starving and I fed her.

Con el tiempo se quedó en mi casa y se puso muy hermosa. Mi vecina dijo que como ya no estaba en su casa que yo le diera las pastillas, pero yo veía que no le hacían efecto. Tenía comportamientos extraños, consulte con la veterinaria y me recomendó que la esterilizara.
Efectivamente, tenía el útero inflamado por las pastillas y había riesgo de un tumor, hice bien en operarla.
A partir de allí fue una gata saludable, amaba estar en los techos, a tal punto que llegada una hora determinada de la tarde, si se encontraba ahí aún no quería bajar y había que subir al techo a buscarla.
Por lo demás era muy obediente, a un determinado sonido que hacía con su plato de comida ella aparecía sea donde sea que estuviera, así fuera de un jardín vecino y muy lejos.
Era una gata muy grande en tamaño y lo que ven no es gordura era pelo. La veterinaria me había dicho que probablemente hubiera tenido cruza con la raza angora. Recuerdo le encantaba el queso blando y el helado, siempre se ponía cerca de mí cuando estaba comiendo helado. Era muy muy glotona, pero como les digo no era gorda sino muy peluda.
Eventually she stayed at my house and became very beautiful. My neighbour said that as she was no longer at home I should give her the pills, but I could see that they had no effect. She was behaving strangely, so I consulted the vet and she recommended that she be spayed.
Indeed, her uterus was swollen because of the pills and there was a risk of a tumour, so I was right to operate her.
From then on she was a healthy cat, she loved to be on the roof, to the point that at a certain time in the evening, if she was still there, she didn't want to come down and we had to go up to the roof to look for her.
Otherwise she was very obedient, at a certain sound she made with her food dish she would appear wherever she was, even if it was in a neighbouring garden and very far away.
She was a very big cat in size and what you see is not fat but hair. The vet had told me that she had probably been crossed with the Angora breed. I remember she loved soft cheese and ice cream, she would always stand close to me when I was eating ice cream. She was very very greedy, but as I say she was not fat but very hairy.

Además, vivía corriendo en el jardín, y sacaba del mismo a los gatos callejeros que entraban. Los jardines no estaban bien divididos sino solo por un alambrado. Y ella era muy guardiana, en la casa sólo reinaba Tuty y Roñy, mi otro gato que tenían la misma edad. Entre ellos se llevaban muy bien y eran muy compañeros.
Era super cariñosa con quienes ella quería, pero por otro lado muy asustadiza y fuera de la familia cercana, el resto de la gente la asustaba tanto que se escondía debajo de alguna cama hasta que la visita se fuera.
Le gustaba tanto dormir acompañada, siempre estaba en alguna cama. Había que cepillarla y siempre mantener su pelo porque jugaba tanto en la tierra que se le hacían nudos, ya que el pelo era muy largo.
Era una gata que le encantaba la lluvia, pero no sólo mira ro ver cuando llovía, sino que se mojaba porque le encantaba. Lo recuerdo.
Besides, she lived running in the garden, and she would chase the stray cats out of the garden when they came in. The gardens were not well divided but only by a wire fence. And she was very guardian, in the house only Tuty and Roñy, my other cat who were the same age. They got on very well with each other and were very good companions.
She was super affectionate with those she loved, but on the other hand she was very scary and outside the close family, the rest of the people scared her so much that she would hide under a bed until the visitor left.
She liked so much to sleep in company, she was always in a bed. She had to be brushed and her fur always had to be maintained because she played so much in the dirt that she would get knots in it, as her fur was so long.
She was a cat who loved the rain, but she didn't just watch when it rained, she got wet because she loved it. I remember that.

Vivió conmigo doce años, y yo la había adoptado cuando tenía alrededor de dos años. Tuvo una vida muy feliz, y eso me deja en paz, porque se convirtió en una gran gata, hermosa, cariñosa y guardiana.
Inesperadamente vi que, en el parpado inferior de un ojo, le apareció como una lastimadura que pensamos era un rasguño, pero con el tiempo se convirtió en un tumor, la veterinaria la operó, pero ella no aguanto usar el cono y se arrancó los puntos… eso volvió a crecer. Igualmente la cuidaba y curaba la herida cada día. Algunos me decían que por ser mayormente blanca eso podía pasar.
Un día, no la encontraba y no la encontraba y luego de un buen rato de buscar en el fondo del jardín allí estaba sin vida. El shock para mi fue impresionante, verla así, estaba sola y llame a la veterinaria. Me dijo simplemente murió de un paro cardiaco.
A su lado había señales como que mi gato Roñy quería despertarla o algo así, él la quería mucho, nadie me saca eso de la cabeza. Cinco meses después Rony se fue de este plano, lo veía triste, apagado, sé que la extrañaba. Lo que viví con ellos fue increíble, mis primeras mascotas o más bien hijos.
Escribo y la traigo a mi mente, cada momento hermoso que pasé con ella, doce años de amor.
Estoy feliz de poder recordarla en esta comunidad, con todos ustedes. Les envío un gran saludo. Hasta pronto.
Amonet.
She lived with me for twelve years, and I had adopted her when she was about two years old. She had a very happy life, and that leaves me at peace, because she became a great cat, beautiful, loving and guardian.
Unexpectedly I saw that, on the lower eyelid of one eye, she had a wound that we thought was a scratch, but with time it turned into a tumour, the vet operated on her, but she couldn't bear to use the cone and tore out the stitches... it grew back. I still took care of her and treated the wound every day. Some people told me that because she was mostly white it could happen.
One day, I couldn't find her and I couldn't find her and after a long time of searching at the bottom of the garden, there she was lifeless. I was shocked to see her like that, she was alone and I called the vet. She told me that she had simply died of cardiac arrest.
Next to her there were signs like my cat Rony wanted to wake her up or something, he loved her very much, no one can get that out of my head. Five months later Rony left this plane, he looked sad, dull, I know he missed her. What I lived with them was incredible, my first pets or rather children.
I write and bring her to my mind, every beautiful moment I spent with her, twelve years of love.
I am happy to be able to remember her in this community, with all of you. I send you a big greeting. See you soon.
Amonet.

Ok, me hiciste llorar avesilla... no se que decir... Que entendidos son los animales dios mío. Se fue a jugar al cielo con su amiguita ay no... se me cerro la garganta en serio. Que hermosa era. Gracias .. mil gracias por darle otra oportunidad de ser feliz. Tenes el cielo ganado y allí te espera Tuty con Roñy... 😭
Por cierto, me hizo acordar a Pepe. Mira estas dos fotos. Colores iguales, ambos tipo angora y ambos partieron.... Me removiste recuerdos ¿Estarán jugando juntos tambien?
Creo que es posible que estén juntos... tengo historias que nadie me creería como soñar con Tuty y avisarme de la enfermedad de Roñy... las señales ya te las contaré... no lo olvidaré jamás! Gracias reina, son muy parecidos!🤗

Hello @avdesing good day
It's true, pets are more than just company, they are part of our family
Tuty was very adorable and beautiful, you have beautiful photographs
Have a lovely day
I loved her so much, they were so sweet. Thank you so much!!!🤗
Wow, uno los llega a amar como hijos. Que bella era, que cómico eso de que comía caracoles. Los gatos están con quién se sienten bien y ella por algo te eligió, siempre pienso que ellos son los que nos eligen. Se ve que tenía un pelaje hermoso, entiendo lo de los nudos a mi gata también se le hacen. Sufro al saber que un día se va a ir, es inevitable, pero no quiero. Conmovida por tu vivencia. Un abrazo 🤗
Sí, comía caracoles porque estaba muerta de hambre, pobrecita, cuando vi eso enseguida le di de comer pollo, era un amor de gata, siempre los gatos que he tenido son como hijos. Siempre digo que dan tanto en vida que compensa el dolor de su partida. Los amo! Gracias!!
Hello dear friend @avdesing
I loved knowing how your beautiful furry family came to your home, and how well you did in neutering Tuty,
I don't think I've read before that a cat likes a bath, and much less in the rain, everyone I know runs away from it
What beautiful shots you have, precious memories
She loved the rain, and would run away from me to go under it and get wet, it was crazy! Thank you so much!!!🤗
On this occasion, I can comment little. They are very beautiful memories, and it is a good person to remember the beings who gave us happiness.
Greetings, @avdeing
Every kitten I have had has been very special, like children. The truth is that I adore them. Thank you very much!
I can tell you love them. This publication is made from the heart and it shows.
Have a nice afternoon. See you tomorrow 👋
I will always remember her, she is in my heart. Thank you!👋
👋
Greetings. I like your images. I love cats. I remember I had one that I loved very much. But he was lost to me and I never heard from him again.
It is never too late to have another one and enjoy how much they give us. Thank you!
How beautiful she was, you gave her 12 years of pure love and with you, she knew what the good life was, she left when she had accomplished her mission and Rony wanted to go after her to continue playing in kitty heaven ❤️
You don't know how sad I was alone in the garden... I knew I missed her and I missed her very much... that's a very powerful story. Thank you Yami!🤗
Que post tan nostálgico 🥲 Cuando era niña veía a los animales como mascotas, prácticamente no hice conexión con ninguna, lo acepto. Sin embargo, hoy día tengo una conexión mucho más fuerte, de hecho siempre digo que mi perrito Oppa es mi hijo perruno jeje. Lo amo tanto, que algunas personas me dicen que lo estoy humanizando, pero sinceramente no lo veo así. Ya va para 3 años de vivir con nosotros, y espero que tengamos muchos más ❤️
Siempre me dijeron que no me entendían y que humanizaba a los animales, o será que estos animales están más avanzados? Eso digo yo y es por algo. Disfruta mucho de tu hijo!!!🤗
Sad and at the same time a nice story of the love you had for your pet. He was very happy by your side no doubt. ❤️🥰
She has been happy and that is why I am at peace, I loved her very much! Thank you always!🤗
Que hermosos recuerdos, como te expresas de tuty es una hermosura, tengo gatos 5 y no me imagine la vida sin ellos, llegan a nuestra vida para cambiarla de todas las formas posibles que se vuelven padte de nuestro día a día, al leer tus palabras me hicieron llorar imaginándote verla sin vida no debe de a ver sido fácil.. pero lo más hermoso es que recuerdad que le distes la mejor vida hasta donde pudiste y eso es lo más valioso que ella se llevó el día que se fue ❤️
Exacto, ellos cambian nuestra vida para siempre y están por una razón en particular, nos enseñan, acompañan y protegen, además de darnos mucho amor. Muchas gracias!💗
Así es ... ❤️
💗💞
Tuty was a very pretty cat, you took care of her with love and dedication, and that's why she became a long-haired beauty. Sorry she passed away, I know they all have to go one day but it hurts anyway. What a connection with Rony... Something similar happened to my parents' two cats, when one disappeared the other one was found hit by a car on a nearby busy road just a few days later. They were mother and son, both beautiful and very loved cats.
Roñy was a stray cat and I adopted him because he fell in love with me and I fell in love with him. He came first and then Tuty and they were like brothers and that was great to see.
Sometimes cats surprise with their attitudes, as it happened with your parents' cats. I love them! I'll talk about Roñy, we understood each other just by looking at each other.
These photographs are a priceless memory and more if it is about pets or as you say those beautiful animals that are like part of the family, which unfortunately have few years in this life but enough with all those memories and moments that you could share. For that reason I always take pictures of my animals because if life is very short for us, it is even shorter for them. Greetings!

I do exactly the same with my two kittens I have now, all the time taking pictures and enjoying them. Thank you so much!🤗
Tuty was happy when she came into your life and so were you for having her and helping her to live.... You are a good person for taking her into your home and taking care of her so she wouldn't go hungry anymore. You can see she was a beautiful cat. Love works wonders.
Death is something that hurts a lot, I know.
Life with her was great and fun, and the connection I had with the other cat Roñy was even more special, things happened to me that nobody would believe. Only few people would understand what I experienced. That's why I love cats, they are always my protectors. I am the cat woman hahaha
Que historia tan interesante y conmovedora, Tuty llegó a tu casa para llenarlos de alegría, se ve muy guapa en las fotos, las mascotas son seres especiales que merecen nuestro amor y cariño, en casa tenemos dos morocoyas (tortugas de tierra) que son las consentidas ♥️ 🐢 😍.
Que lindo!! No importa la mascota que sea, el amor es lo que importa. Gracias!
