" Skeeter " May 15 1985 ---- July 10 2000
Cat
He was born the day before my birthday 1985.
He became part of my life 3 months later.
He was a beautiful black and white with a soft silky coat.
When he was a kitten he had these huge ears which he grew into.
Until he was 5 he was an outdoor/indoor cat. He used to come into the house
and would scratch on the heel of my flip flops.
I bought him his own pair cutting the strap at the toe and anchoring it under
a piece of furniture by the door. He never sharpened his claws on anything else.
He acted more like a dog than a cat following me everywhere.
He would sit at my feet where ever I was watching TV sitting at the
computer standing in the kitchen getting ready for work in the bathroom.
He would be at the door when I came home.
He slept at my side every night.
I put Skeeter to sleep this morning.
The quality of his life had taken a turn downward.
I will miss him more than words can say but am grateful for
the 15 years of unconditional love he gave so freely.
He is happy safe and has no
more pain.
