Queen Basette was the epitomy of unfazed dignity, a cat whose presence was far mightier than her stature. Sleep well, Butterball.

Basset was (is) a wonderful cat. She was brave and tough. I remember she took to me immediately, which cats don’t usually do with strangers — especially cats with a guardian temperament like Basette’s. She was (and is) wonderful. You were a good mother, and you did the right thing — the only thing you could have done in good conscience. I know that doesn’t make it any easier, but it’s the truth. And, as my grandmother used to say: “The truth is the truth, and it will stand when the world is on fire.”

Thank you, Mel. She was a wonderful kitty. Vicious, yet cuddly. I miss her terribly. Not the sick kitty, but the memory of the kitty who purred whlie shredding dog fur, attacked my hand to get me to release the string so she could play with it on her terms, and the kitty who was a constant company for almost half of my life.

She was a wonderful kitty. Fastest claws in the east. Only cat I’ve ever seen completely cower a dog. She was so tough. She went through a lot. You are a good mom. She was very lucky to have you. I’ll miss her dearly.
