Hi friends, itās Jessicaāone of the original Nudie Mamas. I havenāt been on this page much in recent years, as my growing family has taken priority, but today I wanted to share something very special and close to my heart.
Ten years ago, Princess came into our lives. Her name was Night, and she was a two-year-old queen whose owner could no longer care for her due to illness. From the moment she joined us, it was clear Night didnāt fit her. She was delicate, full of charm, and carried herself with graceāand just the right amount of sass. She was a Princess through and through.
When my children came along and couldnāt quite say āPrincess,ā she became known as Paw Pawāa name that stuck and felt just right.
Paw Paw was with me through so many of lifeās biggest momentsāCOVID, girlsā nights watching The Bachelor, my wedding, and both pregnancies. I remember her on my baby bump, then curled up beside me as I nursed my babies. She was more than a petāshe was a constant, a companion, and a part of our family.
She was part of our Nudie Patootie crew and the sweetest little meowdel. She didnāt have many poses and earned the title āOne Look Wonder.ā
Out of all our sphynx, Princess was the most friendly. She loved aggressive cuddles and insisted on being involved in everythingāgirlsā nights, school pickups, visits to my husbandās office, and even birthday celebrations at a restaurant.
She got along with everyone in the Nudie clanāexcept Rumple šāand had a special bond with Mr. Biggles.
Today, Princess would have turned 12. Born August 5, 2013, she brought ten years of love and joy into our lives. Every summer, she stayed at Gammie Camp with my mom, Michelle, who cared for her whenever we traveled. Princess became a shared cat, loved by our whole family.
Last Monday, we had to unexpectedly say goodbye to Princess due to heart failure. It has been an incredibly sad time. She was always more than a catāshe was part of our lives, our memories, and our hearts.
With love,
Nudie Mama Jessica
