Mordecai was with us for 14 beautiful years, watching over our home and our hearts. Always alert, she made sure we knew when a person or animal was nearby, faithfully protecting her family. In her younger years, she was full of energy—running, chasing birds, and embracing every moment outside. She loved being petted and scratched and never missed a chance to soak up affection. She loved everyone she met, and in return, she was deeply loved. She will always be part of our family.
