Over 64 years I have cared for and loved sooo many animals – mainly cats – that you would think none would stand out – but that is not true.
I don’t know how to explain what chicks with some animals more than others, but there is something in their eyes that you see as time goes by, and you know you are forever connected to this animal.
When it is their time to go you feel the loss so excruciatingly that you know no one would understand, so you bear the loss yourself and try to go on without your friend. Their innocence and uncompromising trust in you is what I think you miss, since you only get this from animals – humans are flawed in this respect.
I will always love and miss my friends, Pipsi, Charliecat, Porkchop, Kareem, Rusty, Freya, Fugly,Prissy and Tootsie, and I hope to see you all some day.
No, heaven will not ever heaven be, unless my cats are there with me.
