Mike's ADCs

As submitted by daughter Joanne
My parents, Loraine and Mike adopted a Russian Blue cat in January
2017 which they named Kit (aka Kitty) who was a neglected kitten who lived a
street away. My dad was the one who found her and started caring for her in
2016. The two bonded so closely. Kit adored everyone in the family equally
but she was definitely my dad's cat. We all gave so much love to Kit and she
returned the love to us. My parents bought her so many cat toys that she
loved and countless brands of cat food, giving her the best in life. She had
their large four bedroom house to enjoy and many rooms to explore. However
at 2 years of age, she came down with feline infectious peritonitis (FIP)
which is incurable. They spent $6000 in vet bills desperately trying to save
her but and we had to make that heartbreaking decision to help her on her
next journey by having her put to sleep on March 31, 2018. It was so
enormously heart breaking and we are all grieving so heavily. It's been
unbelievably painful.
My parents and I wondered if we'd see any signs from Kit when she passed but
when nothing happened immediately, we were feeling sad. However two days
after the loss of Kit, as my parents and I were getting ready to speak on
Facetime with my brother, Scott, at 8:40pm I heard two meows at the front
door. I immediately sat forward on the couch which my parents witnessed but
they didn't hear the meow themselves. Kit used to always meow at the front
door. My dad instantly checked the front door but there was no cat in sight.
Later on the call my mother and I also had a brief thump at the backdoor.
Kit used to also scratch at the backdoor. My dad went outside to take a look
and noticed a flower pot had fallen on the ground but there was no wind that
night.
