Pickles Jonas Brown

Pickles Jonas Brown, of Greenfield, Indiana, age 16, a beautiful Tortoiseshell girl belonging to Angie Brown, passed over the Rainbow Bridge on Thursday, October 31, 2024. Pickles was born on a family farm in rural Carroll County, Indiana, on a spring day in March of 2008. Pickles entered this world alongside her brother, Poppy, and both were fortunate enough to find a loving home with the Brown family in April of 2008. Pickles was a tortoiseshell, which are historically known for having a variety of personalities, including being sassy, independent, and loyal. Torties are sometimes called the "divas" of the feline world. They are known for being spunky and independent, and they know what they want. Pickles started out life with exactly that described "tortitude," personality, crying the entire hour-long trip home from the farm to her new home. That aspect of Pickles didn’t change as Pickles grew older. She was sure to give you a piece of her mind whenever she felt like it. Angie shared how she had some friends come over to feed the cats and clean the litter boxes during the family’s week-long vacation. The cats apparently didn’t come out the entire time they were gone. When they returned home, Pickles sat at the top of the stairs and “yelled” at them for 10 minutes for having the nerve to leave her at home for the week in the care of someone else. Pickles was so loving; she was a snuggler and loved being cuddled. As a younger girl, Pickles was an adventurous and playful girl who at one point thought she wanted to venture outside. One late night when the dog was being let out for a potty break, she snuck out at the same time without being detected. Upon getting up that next morning, they realized she was missing, and the search was on for Pickles, but they couldn’t find her. The next day, the rain clouds appeared and heavy rains set in. Angie heard a cat crying very loudly outside. Pickles was found taking shelter on the other side of their fence under some old siding in their neighbor's yard. After that experience, Pickles decided she didn’t want to try to go anywhere outside ever again. Angie relayed that Pickles was a “good mouser” and sometimes brought her little “gifts.” Pickles was especially fond of you if you fed her. She would follow you, and if you happened to drop any kind of food, she would happily gobble it up. 

Even as a senior cat, Pickles would still play just as if she were a kitten after being coaxed by scratching her tummy or dangling a toy in front of her face. 

Pickles was a low-maintenance girl who enjoyed playing with milk jug rings and twist ties. She wasn’t a picky eater and would try to eat anything that fell on the floor. One of her favorite things to do was sit in the windows and have the warmth of the sun on her. Pickles was true to her tortie personality because she definitely wasn’t a fan of being groomed. Angie relayed that while clipping her claws, she would protest the entire time, and after her preventative flea treatment, she would hold a grudge, and she’d stay angry for the whole evening after getting dosed and would go into hiding. After Pickles forgave Angie for the dastardly treatment she was given, she was nothing but a loving, cuddly girl. Pickles loved to sleep right alongside Angie or cuddle up on her lap. She was a very affectionate girl who liked to snuggle with her people, whether in a chair or on a bed; she wanted to be snuggled up with them. Pickles, who Angie referred to as "Picki-kins,” was absolutely the sweetest girl. 

In addition to Angie, Pickles will be lovingly remembered by her human sibling, brother, Nathaniel. Pickles is preceded in death by her cat sibling, Poppy, who greeted her on the other side of the Rainbow Bridge.
