Cat

The day I brought you home I was so scared and unsure of having a cat…

Never having one before and I could not believe someone did not

want to keep you as you were so beautiful your long silver-blue gray hair and

bright green ambitious eyes… You taught me.

You stayed by me you loved me unconditionally.

As I grew to love you more with everyday I felt you deserved a friend to

play with while I was gone working. I brought home Tilly…

you took care of her you taught her you nurtured her.

As time passed we came upon another unwanted kitten…

I took him in knowing you would take him under your wing…

you did as I expected… loving him as you do everyone.

Weasie being deaf stayed by you and learned the ways of our household.

You were always there for all of them and mostly for me.

In my times of sorrow you laid by me cuddled with me and I knew you

were my best friend for all time. The day you became ill…I knew.

My Smokey was not himself. I took you to the vet and he told

me of your diabetes. I hesitated about the whole thing but I knew you

needed me to get you through each day of life.

I know you did not like getting poked however everyday you would

remind me to give you your insulin shot.

We learned together to deal with our everyday routine.

Until that morning when I found you laying there half breathing…

I rushed you in everyone had high hopes that you would recover ok

but as God saw it it was your time to be with Him.

Oh Smokey please understand I could not let you suffer.

I had to let you go but letting you go does not mean I stopped

loving you. I will love you forever and I miss you so much.

I miss my little buddy waking me up everyday when I was late

snuggling with me when I was down greeting me at the door…

I miss everything about you… even the time you tried

stealing the chicken off the counter… 🙂

I hope God has taken your soul and gave you a good place to

be with all your friends as you deserved it for being such a wonderful cat.

Remember mumma said its not nice to stick your tongue out at others. 🙂

We will one day be reunited and until that day you will be in my

thoughts and memories.

I love you Smokey and

I miss you.

Mumma
