You captured my heart the instant I first saw you — a tiny black and white furball. You quickly made yourself at home and stayed for almost 18 years. You were so unlike your “stepsister”, Taylor, and watching your two very different personalities interact was quite amazing. I often joked with friends that I lived with you and Taylor and not the other way around. You both had full run of the place and I adapted.

I especially miss sitting at the computer with you nestled at my feet. When you got tired of the floor, you would reach up to remind me that you were there and that it was time for a lift into a better spot – my lap.

When I come home at night now, I open the door and there’s no cat springing out hoping for a glimpse of that other cat down the hall. When I get up in the morning, there’s no cat slipping quietly into the spot I’d just left and making himself quite comfortable. I miss that “you’ve got to be kidding” look I’d get if the catfood was a new brand and not quite up to snuff.

There are so many things I miss – you touched every part of my life. I was hoping for a few more years, but I am truly grateful for the time we did spend together. I am heartbroken but I know you are in a better place. Say hello to Taylor – but don’t fight! I always said that if love could you keep you around, you’d live forever. You will live forever – in my heart.
