Remembering Cammy the Gerbil

Momoko was scheduled to cook us some fried egg sandwiches. She approached me and said there was a change of plans. Kit Kat's gerbil named Cammy was not doing well. So Momoko was going to Kit Kat's apartment to bring a heating pad to help the gerbil. Before Momoko left, we were informed that Cammy had died.

Cammy one of two gerbils (the other being Chai) that Kit Kat and Momoko bought while Little Kat and I were visiting grandpa. Cammy was the chonky one. She loved human food. It made her bloated and big. So she was frequently on a diet.

In the later days, she started getting jumpy around the other gerbil. Chai would chase her around. And when Chai go close enough to touch her, Cammy would jump high in the air, often injuring herself. Eventually Kit Kat got a bigger cage with a separator in the middle to protect Cammy.
