Being that she was adopted, I'm not certain of her age but estimate her to have lived 14-16 years.

Tabby was a small, unique, intelligent cat. She was very affectionate, but she was spunky and could also be a real bitch sometimes.
She preferred the company of my dog Klara to that of the home's other cats.
Sent for the flowers and the lilies we love
Surely it's so, for in heaven's own way
The soul is a flower of the Master's bouquet
Chorus
Gathering flowers for the Master's bouquet
Beautiful flowers that will never decay
Gathered by angels and carried away
Forever to bloom in the Master's bouquet
We must be faithful till life's work is done
Blooming away in the warmth of the sun
But every bud and each blossom some day
Will bloom as a flower in the Master's bouquet
Surely it's so, for in heaven's own way
The soul is a flower of the Master's bouquet
Chorus
Gathering flowers for the Master's bouquet
Beautiful flowers that will never decay
Gathered by angels and carried away
Forever to bloom in the Master's bouquet
We must be faithful till life's work is done
Blooming away in the warmth of the sun
But every bud and each blossom some day
Will bloom as a flower in the Master's bouquet
For her,
