We brought her home a few days before Christmas in 2006. I remember having to lock her in the bathroom for the first night and hearing her cry because she wanted to come out.
She quickly became my friend and always bugged me in the morning while I was getting ready for school. Whenever I took a shower she would sit on the toilet seat and wait for me to come out so she could drink the shower water. One day I got a stuffed animal bear that was holding a heart that looked like Pooh Bear. Everyday before school I would set it on my bed and when I got home it was always downstairs or in the living room. Pooh Bear was her favorite toy.
I got her a leash and always took her outside. The day before her heart stopped I took her outside one last time not knowing it would be the last. She tried to eat rocks.
Most nights when I was home she would come in my room in the middle of the night and sleep right in the middle of my bed. She rarely slept in her own blue bed.
I remember when I played with her how she did back flips and shook her butt before attacking. She always use to attack my friend’s toes when she came over. One of her favorite toys besides Pooh Bear was pipe cleaners. In seventh grade I had to make a DNA model out of pipe cleaners and she constantly tried to take it apart because she wanted a pipe cleaner. I am still finding them around the house.
Boo had the loudest purr I have ever heard. That was her trademark and so was her squeak.
One day no one was in the room when we think she fell off the banister. We ran in the room and rushed her to the vet. She fractured her ankle and needed a splint and pain medicine. I remember after she got x-rays and came back in the vet’s office she sat on the chair and curled up to me and purred. That was the last time I heard her purr. I had to go to my dad’s house so we had to leave her at the vet’s office and I never really got to say goodbye to her because I thought she was going to be okay.
My mom brought her home and had to take her in the next morning because she could not walk. There was something wrong with her kidneys causing the pain medicine to make her heart stop. I never really got to say goodbye.
I will never get rid of her Pooh Bear because that was her favorite toy and I still think I hear her purring around the house.
No cat will ever be as good as she was. We all loved you because you were social and loved all of us.
I miss you and love more than anyone ever could Kitty.
I love you Boo,
