Such a beautiful tribute, to a beautiful little angel named Minou...Thank you @gwilberiol for sharing her 'Earthy' life with us. I'm sure she is still alive and well in another dimension...
Albino felines are commonly found to have hearing problems, but compensate well for it. Often when one of our senses are muted, other sense organs become heightened.
Although a cat can live a fairly long life, (not long enough for 'us' though) some breeds are known to live much shorter a period. I lost one a couple years ago who was well taken cared for, seemed perfectly happy and healthy....then just suddenly, one day, she just faded away...at about the same age.
Have a wonderful day. Loved your post. Regards @averageoutsider
