Caesar by Heather

I first met Caesar at the local shelter. When I first picked him up to pet him he won me over with his beautiful copper eyes soft fur and loud rumbling purr. The decision was simple– he was coming home with me.

Caesar was my first pet and we learned together. At times it was rough– adjustment to a new home always is– but somehow we made it through. After a month he was greeting me at the door his meows coming as soon as he heard my key jingling in the lock. He would sit at my feet as I typed on the computer. My most treasured memory of him is that he would hop onto my bed as I was falling asleep to be petted would give me a kiss on the nose and then would curl up with me for a nap. I miss all those things.

For us the end was quick and far too soon. But even still I’m so glad that I was lucky enough to have known this wonderful cat. Caesar I love you.
