My sweet “Baby Kitty”, I miss you with all of my heart. Not a day goes by that I don’t think of you. I remember the day that I brought you home. You were a stray living in the bushes behind a store, or in the sewer. When I first saw you, I fell in love with you. I would leave food for you and the other cats every night on my way home from work. On the third time that I came to feed you, you let me pet you. Then you let me pick you up and cuddle you. You purred and purred. So I took you home. You sat on my shoulder and just purred in contentment for the 20 minute ride. You seemed so happy to have a loving home to live in.
It did not take you long to greet each other kitty and to have playmates. The other cats accepted you right away. Then I took Max home, your buddy from the bushes. You would play fight with him and the others.
One day I noticed that you were not using the litter box, but piddling in the kitchen. You started acting lethargic and not eating as much. So Daddy and I took you to the vet only to learn that you had kidney failure. Because of that, you had become very dehydrated. The vet gave us vitamins for you and fluid to give you under your skin. You came back to your old self for a while. Then you went downhill again. You stopped eating and only stayed on the couch for two days.
It was time to let you go, my baby kitty. The doctor said you were born with kidney disease and it would only get worse for you. We had to say good-bye to you, Chibi. It was the hardest thing for me to ever do, because
you were MY baby kitty.
I miss you with all of my heart and I will never forget you. Wait for me, Chibi, at the Rainbow Bridge. Shadow is there with you, and one day we will cross that bridge together.
With all of our love forever,
| Chibi |
