Died 2002, Stow, MA at 17 years of age.

Lilac was found in a lumber yard, where they were giving away kittens with the two-by-fours.

Nina took Lilac and another kitten home with her. This was back in 1985. Lilac soon took the first of many "husbands." She always had a feline best friend, and it was always a male. The first was Angus, who used to lie near her as much as possible. Once, when Nina had to move, she couldn't find Angus anywhere. He had disappeared. She was forced to move without him. A week later, in the new home, she heard a cat crying in the woods. It was Angus, who had made the journey to find his "wife," Lilac.

Lilac spent her long life as a barn cat. She loved to lounge in the hay and loved getting attention from people. With her long silky fur and harlequin facial markings she got a lot of attention.

For the last four years of her life she lived with her last "husband," Mr. Big. She developed a thyroid condition and slowly faded away, still enjoying food and people until she was put to sleep in May 2002.
