Up to now, putting you to sleep has been the hardest thing I’ve had to do in my life. From the day we brought you into our house as a scared kitten, til your last day, you were a wonderful companion to me. I remember the 1st day we bout you inside and you kept running into the sliding glass door trying to escape back outside and finally retreating to hide under my brothers bed where I pulled you out and took you to my room, which in time would become our room.
Ive had several other cats over the last 15 years, but you were always special to me, you were the most like me, shying away from the others, being elusive, and extremely gentle, I’m sure that’s what drew us to one another. There are a lot of little things I’m going to miss now that you are gone, expecting you to pop out from behind my curtain, having to pull you out of my or my brothers closet, making sure I don’t close you in my room alone, watching you pep up when you smelled chicken in the house, and most of all I’m going to miss feeling you next to me as I lay down in my bed and feeling you move around from one side to the other and trying to get comfortable between my legs, and how you would walk on my chest, examine my face and
make sure I’m still breathing.
You were always there for me in my loneliest days. I know I will see you again, and when we reunite I’ll be looking forward to hearing that familiar purr as you
rub up against me again.
I love you and miss you.
