Nala, you were my best friend for 12 years. You were such a bratty cat, full of personality. You had the most beautiful green eyes I have ever seen. From the day I got you, you were always full of mischief.
I remember the first few months when we were living in the apartment, you would somehow get up on top of the kitchen cupboards and refuse to come down. You scratched holes in my mattress and stole whatever you could find (money, socks, toys, etc.) to hide there. You kept me up many nights by attacking me every time I moved. But I loved every minute of it!! When you got sick the 1st time with kidney failure at 6 years old, I did everything I could to make you better and luckily we had 6 more wonderful years together. You calmed down a lot after the first illness and became a cuddly, affectionate little girl. We bonded so much I think because you knew I had saved your life. This time it wasn’t to be, I wasn’t able to save you.
I tried my hardest again but we could not fight the kidney disease this time around. You were so sick and I couldn’t bear to see you suffering. Taking you to the vets the last time was the hardest thing I have ever done!! I wish from the bottom of my soul that it didn’t have to be this way. I miss you so much, I ache for you. You were always the first one to greet me at home with a loving meow. You were such a talker. I miss your head butts and your wonderful purring. I can’t sleep, I have fallen asleep to the sound of your purring for 12 years. I know in time things will get better and I will be able to remember you with a smile instead of tears but right now my heart is broken and I am a mess.
I hope you understand that I helped you cross to the Bridge out of love!! I miss you so much Nala, you will always be in my heart, my sweet little kitty!!
Love Forever,
