In Memorium: Ella Louise Koenig (1996-2012)

Ella Louise Koenig died today in her mother's arms at the Kingstowne Cat Clinic.  She was nearly 16 years old, and her health had declined in the last few days. 

Ella, who was also known as Ella Bella, Ellie Bellie, Bella Boo, and Diva, was a domestic longhair, absolutely gorgeous, and very beautiful.  She was adopted in the spring of 2002 when her mom visited Petsmart and saw her in a cage.  She reminded her mom of Lord Louis of Alexandria, a much-loved Maine Coon cat, who died in 2000.  Ella was very happy to be adopted, and be in a loving home, despite having to share it with two brothers.  A younger sister was adopted in 2006.

Ella was named after her late brother.  She was very much a princess, who loved to snuggle, loved to smack her brothers, and follow her mom everywhere.  She played an active role in the Koenig security system, a 24-hour service that kept watch over her mother.

Ella loved tuna and whipped cream, but her absolute favorite food was chicken, especially cooked chicken strips.

Ella is survived by her mom, and her two brothers, Buddy Rich, 15,  Edison James Kittycat, 14, and Sienna Rose, 6.
