Remembering Harry Kitty


 We are very saddened to report that Harry Kitty, a longtime resident of Pea Ridge, has passed away after a lengthy and courageous struggle with diabetes.  Harry Kitty was diagnosed with diabetes 5 years ago.  At that time, Dr. Marybeth thought Harry might survive another two years at the outside.  Harry Kitty defied the odds and lived five years with this serious illness, thanks in part to the excellent care he received from Dr. Marybeth as well as from Nana and Daddy Bill. 

Harry came to live in Pea Ridge in 1998 after being abandoned by unknown persons and rescued by LizzyBean.  His special story was related on this blog several years ago.  Harry blossomed in Pea Ridge; there could have been no better place for him to land.  Harry loved his great big yard in the country.

With all the attention he received from his new family, Harry became a very gregarious and outgoing kitty.  He spent much of his time on the kitchen table in the middle of any action.  Nana did not necessarily like Harry on the table during meals, but Harry didn't much care.  Harry loved to talk to everyone. 

 

 Harry especially enjoyed visits from BB and spent many hours with her playing Baby Born (Harry liked to lick Baby Born's head), My Little Pony, and Barbie.  He just liked hanging out with her at any age, no matter what she was doing.




Harry enjoyed his yard, snacking, taking naps, and hanging out with his family.  
 

We will miss you, beautiful and funny Harry Kitty.
