I won because I exceeded all expectations and lived for 18 months instead of the predicted 6-9 months at diagnosis.
I won because I fought the second bout of cancer and made the 3 tumours go away...I just got a little weak and my body has no more to give.
I won because I have been surrounded by love and have had the best family I could wish for.
I did not lose this fight...it is just time for me to go now.

Ben Vet is coming around to see me in my home on Friday at about 1pm, he is going to help me to the Bridge. I am just too weak to carry on - I'm not in pain, just debilitated - I am not going to get better either. My Meowmies love me so much and they are doing the best thing for me...as they have always done.
And please don't think that Friday the 13th is unlucky...it is not because I am lucky in that I am able to spend today and tomorrow with my Meowmies and Castle, doing the things I love to do. I will also be released from this illness and will be going to a beautiful place. 13 is also my Meowmie L's lucky number and birthdate so please celebrate this Friday the 13th as a lucky day...for me.
Meowmie has been playing wildlife DVDs for me today, I love to watch them and listen to the noises so much. Today was David Attenborough films, tomorrow we have March Of The Penguins and 100 Greatest Wildlife Moments, also with David Attenborough (he's the best!).
Thank you all for being my friends over the past year...I hope you will take care of my beautiful Castle for me, he has been the BEST brother ever...I won't be able to visit all the blogs to say a personal goodbye, so I will say one here to you all...and from the bottom of my heart I truly wish you all a happy and healthy life...until we meet again....
Love and purrs and headbutts...always,
Stormie

Oh, Stormie, I will miss you. I didn't know about you until lately. I usually visit Parker and Miss Peach. Yes, sweetie, you were tht most beautiful siamese cat in the whole world.
You were so strong to fight your illness and so brave.
I will see you again when I cross the bridge. Look for a Turkish van cat with no tail. I am 13 this month. Not much time left.
Your family is in my thoughts.
RIP, sweet baby.
Normie, Miss Peach's little (tiny) friend
Oh, I am so sad to hear about beautiful Stormie. She was so brave. I am sending many, many Hugs your way - Feak will be there to keep Stormie company, she won't be alone.
We love you, Storm.
You will ALL be in our thoughts.
Meg, Jack and their mommy.
Rest in Peace Stormie. What a very brave kitty you were. Purrs and Prayers going up for your family because it is so hard on them right now. But you will be remembered always and live on in their hearts. We want to extend our heartfelt sympathies. God Bless.

Peace and happy rompings to you at the Bridge, sweet Stormie.
I never knew you in life, but I'll know you in blog, Stormie. My heart goes out to your human and fur family during this difficult transition.
Life without you will be difficult, but life with you made up for it!
So sad. So sad.
Dear Sweet Stormie, you were a good kitty in the physical body, now you are released and are a good kitty over the rainbow bridge. Dear Stormie's humans, you are good humans and took such good care of Stormie. I am purring for you.

Dear Storm, I wish I had gotten the chance to know you better.
If you can, will you tell Spotcat and Rudy that I miss them? --MomBean
Your loss is felt by all, but we'll see you on the other side someday!
You were an insperation to many and loved by all.
Purrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Stormie you was the bravest kitty I know. Lotsa love to yur meowmies.
On Friday I had to perform one of my most important and yet most difficult tasks as a vet – to send Storm on her way, to prevent such a special cat from suffering.
I have so many great memories of Storm, from the very beginning of her illness when she went home just in time for Christmas.
She was always such a pleasure to treat – she behaved for every blood sample, iv catheter, tablet, ultrasound and xray. She never hissed, scratched or bit, but was so tolerant – understanding even – of everything that we did for her.
The most surprising of all was that, when she was receiving intravenous chemo, she would stay completely still as long as she could hide her head under her blanket. This became a bit of a ritual: We’d get everything ready for the treatment – drugs, catheters, gloves, masks and… Storm’s blanket.
Storm’s meowmies’ dedication was unparalleled and the only factor in any decision was always Storm’s well-being.
Storm was loved by not only her meowmies, but also by every member of our vet Practice (and countless others too, I’m sure). We’ve been very sad since Storm’s passing – not for Storm, because I’m convinced it was the right time for her to leave us – but for her meowmies’ loss and our loss. There has not been a dry eye in the Practice over the last few days and my friends and family who’ve heard so much about her were very sad too.
So, on Friday, we said goodbye to an old friend, a beacon of feline fortitude and a cat that has touched so many lives. We gave her the gift of freedom from suffering and of dignity. And that is how she left us - very calmly, understanding even, that we were doing the very best we could for our dear, beloved Storm.
I will always remember her,
Ben
Dear Sweet Stormie
I just found out that you went home on Friday.
Yes you won... you were the best fighter and you made everyone's life better by just being you.
I will always remember Friday the 13th as the day Stormie won her victory crown.
I Corinthians 1:26-27 - for Stormie.
"For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble (according to the world), are called...But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty."

Oh, Stormie, you are the furry fighter for sure! I've only recently had the pleasure of reading about you, a beautiful cat with a great spirit and wonderful, loving family. My husband and I have lost two of our beloved kitties, brothers Archie & Smudge, to lymphoma; they, too, put up brave fights. I hope you and they meet at the Bridge; they'll be The Fatboys...two big, long, mostly white boys. Archie will snuggle with you and Smudge will give your ears the best cleaning they've ever had.
Thank you for sharing your story with the blogosphere. As you said, it was time for you to go. Kitties always know best about important stuff like that. Your entry here was beautiful and tear inducing. I'm sure your family is devestated by your loss, but I hope they will be able to look back with happiness on all the love and joy you and they shared.
All my best to you in your new home at the Bridge and to your family,
Annie
Storm,
We didn't know you but after reading your story, we sure wish we did. God speed....

I just came across your blog by accident - I am so so sorry for your loss. I lost my little Molly to diabetes 12 weeks ago today, and just like Storm, she fought right till the end. AND she defied expectations, she lived with diabetes for 3 years!
I am still heartbroken, but I know she's in kitty heaven. Maybe Storm will see her there.

Stormie,
You are a great soldier,
And yes, you have won a battle...
Will never forget you...
Love, lupie

That was a lovely farewell, from an excellent feline with such huge numbers of companions. Goodbye. Also, our considerations to your family.
