Kisha by Lois Bishop / Mommy

Gone only a few hours and there is a gigantic void in life. I miss you so very much. For over 19 years you were with me every day. You were always the one that comforted me when we lost all those cats and dogs through the years. Now I am alone – without you – no one to comfort me over your loss.

You were so special and unique. Very vocal and active, you were always telking to me. I finally got it – that extra loud “meow”meaning you wanted food which was often. At first I missed that you were hyperthyroid. You had always been acting like that.What a good girl you were – willingly taking a pill twice a day for over four and a half years.

I will miss you so much but no more so than when I get up each morning. I called you my “Ms Sunshine”. I’m not a “get up and go” person but you certainly were a “get up and go” cat! As I had my coffee, you always greeted me with your vocals sitting on your special blanket beside me on the sofa, lavishing me with head butts and kisses. Often you crawled onto my lap and gave those special hugs. Though not fully awake, I actually looked forward to our special time. What a great way to start my day!

I had such dread that this day would come. I find solace that you were in good health until last week. You did not suffer as many your age do. I never thought of you as old. You still enjoyed playing, jumping, all the things you did.
Bring out a feather or catnip mouse and you still sprang into action.

Now you can stay forever young. Bet there was a huge welcoming party at the Bridge with all those cats and dogs you had put up with through the years.

Kisha, I love you so very much. You will always be in heart and have my love. One day we will be together again.
