I AM STILL VERY SAD ABOUT SIMBA LEAVING US. BUT AS WE HAD FRIENDS AND FAMILY STOP BY FOR A GATHERING WE ALL REMEMBERED FUNNY STORIES ABOUT SIMBA AND THE DAY WE WENT TO GET HER.
I AM 10 YRS OLD (MOM IS HELPING ME WRITE THIS) AND MY NAME IS EVAN. I STILL REMEMBER WHEN WE WENT TO A FRIEND’S HOUSE, SHE HAD TWO LITTERS OF KITTENS AND MOM DECIDED TO GET ONE. WHEN THE LADY OPENED THE PET CARRIER WHERE SHE KEPT THE KITTENS, SIMBA WAS THE ONLY KITTEN WHO DIDN’T RUN A MUCK! SHE RAN STRAIGHT TO ME AS I SAT ON THE KITCHEN FLOOR. MOM SAYS SIMBA ADOPTED ME WE DIDN’T ADOPT SIMBA! I NAMED HER SIMBA AFTER THE MOVIE “THE LION KING” BECAUSE I LOVED THAT MOVIE AND WATCHED IT ALL DAY EVERY DAY. THAT DAY WE ALSO TOOK ANOTHER KITTEN NAMED BATMAN…MOM COULDN’T RESIST!
WE HAD MOVED INTO AN APT WHERE THE LANDLORD DIDN’T WANT PETS BUT WE SNUCK THEM IN. ONE DAY THE LANDLORD NOTICED SIMBA SITTING IN THE WINDOW, HE THOUGHT SHE WAS A TOY OF MINE. ALL THE SUDDEN SHE JUMPED OFF THE WINDOW AND SCARED THE LANDLORD! HE CAME DOWN TO QUESTION MY MOM AND SHE HID THE CATS IN THIS BIG PANTRY, BUT SIMBA KEPT STICKING HER PAW OUT AND MEOWING, THEN STARTED SCRATCHING. THE LANDLORD SAID WE COULD KEEP THE CATS. THEY WERE SO IMPORTANT TO US THAT WE HAD TO SNEAK THEM. THEY MUST BE SPECIAL!
ONE DAY WE HAD A MOUSE IN THE GARBAGE PAIL..MOM RAN OUT OF THE HOUSE SIMBA JUMPED IN THE PAIL TO GET IT. SHE GOT OUT HAD THE MOUSE BUT IT WAS SOOO FUNNY BECAUSE SHE HAD IT IN A PACKAGE THAT HAD SALT AND PEPPER SHAKERS IN IT. THE MOUSE HAD ITS HEAD PEAKING OUT. SIMBA LOOKED LIKE SHE WENT SHOPPING AND WAS CARRYING HER MOUSE IN A LITTLE SHOPPING BAG. TILL THIS DAY WE NEVER SAW THAT MOUSE AGAIN! AND MOM GOT A STRONGER GARBAGE PAIL!
SIMBA ALWAYS SLEPT WITH ME, LAID ON MY BOOKS WHEN I DID HOMEWORK BECAUSE SHE WANTED ME TO SCRATCH HER, WALKED ACROSS THE KEYBOARD WHEN I PLAYED PC GAMES, AND NEVER LEFT MY BED WHEN I WAS SICK WITH CHICKEN POX. WHEN I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL WITH A PNEUMONIA, SHE NEVER LEFT THE WINDOW TILL I CAME HOME AND WOULDN’T LET ANYBODY COME IN MY ROOM. SHE HISSED AT EVERYBODY!
SOMETIMES I THINK SHE IS HERE. LAST NIGHT I THOUGHT I HEARD SCRATCHING AT THE DOOR, AND THE LIGHT IN THE LIVING ROOM KEEPS FLICKERING. I SAY “SIMBA STOP!” AND IT DOES. MOM SAID IT IS HER WAY OF TELLING ME SHE LOVES ME AND WILL ALWAYS BE WITH ME. I WILL MISS HER FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE, BUT I KNOW SHE WILL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART, AND WILL ALWAYS BE WATCHING OVER ME. THAT IS VERY COMFORTING!
I’D LIKE TO THANK CAROL OF THIS SITE FOR ALL SHE DONE TO HELP ME AND MOM, AND ALL THE OTHER PEOPLE SHE MAKES FEEL BETTER….SHE IS ALL PETS ANGEL. WHEN I GROW UP I HOPE TO DESIGN A PAGE LIKE THIS AND HELP PEOPLE WHEN THEY MISS THEIR PETS LIKE SHE HAS DONE FOR ME!
THANK YOU CAROL!
