Apples was stray we took in at about 3 months old.Right when my 5 year old daughter saw her she called her “Apples” we thought it was so cute that we kept it and her.She was such a smart and special cat.Every night when it was my daughters bed time Apples would be in her bed waiting for her.I love all of my animals but something about Apples just made her stand out.She was one of those pets I thought we would have forever and couldnt imagine being with out.

As Apples grew older she started to become not so social.She was still nice but she only wanted to be pet or held on her terms (which was’nt often).I think for some reason it made us love her more (I’m not sure why).She just became this funny cat.When she was almost 6 we moved to a brand new house.She was the perfect indoor cat.She would always use the liter box,so I knew I would be able to keep her inside the new house.But because we had two other cats that were kind of ify she started spending alot of time out in the garage with them.

About 3 months after we were in our new house there came a night when it was a nice day out side so I left the garage door open longer for the three cats to go in and out of.That was the first time I had ever let the garage stay open till 10:00 p.m.,and it was the last.Apples never came home that night.For days I kept telling myself that she would come home.She never did.We put up signs,checked the pound,placed adds in the paper.We tried everything.What happened to you Apples.

We miss you so much.It’s been two and a half years and we still look for you and even still check the pound.I still feel in my heart that you are out there some where and will always keep serching for you.I never thought I would lose you so soon.I think the hardest thing is not knowing.God I miss you Apples.I had a dream last night that I found you.It was like I could still feel you.I just held you and kept crying.I wish that dream could come true but untill then know that I will love you forever and never forget you and never give up on you.

 


If you are alive I will find you-till then we will always love you
