Gigi Downing

Gigi, known by her government name as Rebecca Nurse, was born at some point in the past has unfortunately crossed the rainbow bridge on July 5, 2023. The feline extraordinaire whose antics brought equal parts laughter and frustration to her beloved family, leaves behind a trail of shredded furniture, misplaced feces, and fond memories... mostly. Gigi was a cat with a mischievous streak and a zest for life that was simply unmatched. Born with a spark of curiosity in her eyes and a philosophy underlining the irrelevance of humanity in the face of the cosmic horrors that exist in the universe; Gigi's inquisitive nature often led her to embark on daring escapades through the house; finding new places to wait in playful ambush of her family, particularly her beloved dog brother, Louie. Gigi's adventures were nothing short of confounding. Though Louie may have occasionally suffered the brunt of Gigi's boredom, there was an undeniable bond between the two that transcended their differences. Through countless play sessions and epic tussles, they formed a friendship that brought joy to their human companions. Gigi had a unique talent for rearranging the façade of furniture with her razor-sharp claws, mastering the art of redecorating. Her owners, Will, Anna, and Charlie Downing, often found themselves caught between exasperation and admiration for her exceptional ability to transform their home into an ever-changing art installation. She will be deeply missed by her cat sibling, Ash, whose subtle yet undeniable bond with Gigi brought them both comfort and companionship. Together, they experienced the highs and lows of a life filled with daily laziness, adventures, and occasional calamities. Gigi's legacy is forever entwined with that of Rusty, the non-orange cat, who preceded her in death. Although they never met, Gigi upheld the love and mayhem of Rusty’s legacy that will forever echo through the halls they once patrolled. Words cannot capture the essence of this audacious cat's spirit. Gigi was a force of nature, an entertainer, and a source of unconditional love and comfort in times of need. Her passing leaves a void in the hearts of all who had the pleasure of knowing her. While Gigi's playful presence may have come to an end, her playful spirit will live on in the memories shared by her adoring family. May her favorite sunbeams guide her on her eternal journey, and may she forever find herself surrounded by never-ending supplies of boxes to explore and shredded cat towers in the great beyond. Rest in peace, Gigi - you were truly a one-of-a-kind companion, and your memory will forever warm our hearts and bring smiles to our faces.
