Trick-or-Treat “Tricky” Nicholas
August 21, 2011 -January 20, 2020
Trick-or-Treat “Tricky” Oreo Nicholas, also known as Twicka, Trix, Trix Nix, entered into rest January 20, 2020 due to complications of asthma and diabetes. Born August 21, 2011, she was homeless as a kitten before joining her furever family on Halloween night that same year.
At the age of two, Tricky nearly died from an asthma attack. She was attended by Dr. Perry and staff at Perry’s Animal Hospital, the vets at Kanawha Valley Veterinary Emergency Hospital, and a team of veterinarians at Virginia Tech, where she became an honorary Hokie. Once she was started on an inhaler twice a day, her health stabilized, giving her a total of eight good years with her family.
Tricky enjoyed spending time with her human and her other best friend, Guinness, the dog. She thoroughly enjoyed slapping the piss out of her cat roommates. She had a favorite blue string she would carry, meowing every step of the way to get your attention, when she wanted to play. While strings were her favorites, she also enjoyed laser lights and paper bags. Tricky was unable to go outside due to her asthma, but she enjoyed sitting in the window sill taking in warm breezes and watching birds. She got excited when the occasional grasshopper or spider got in the house.
Tricky was much loved by family, friends, and vets everywhere due to her big purrsonality and super fuzzy cuddles. She will be forever missed.
The family would like to thank all of the wonderful vets who have been involved in her care and also Cooke Pet Crematorium in Nitro. No visitation will be held because she didn’t like any of you. On the gentlest and fairest day in spring, her ashes will be scattered in Jerry’s memorial guardian.
