Bye bye my darling baby teddy-cat.
We love you ever so much and
miss you already even though
you only left us yesterday.
We were so lucky to know you
for the short time you lived with us.
We never knew that you would be taken
from us so soon.
You should have been playing in the garden with your sister Badger today as you usually do. You were a great hunter – I will miss you bringing mice and shrews for me.
We cannot believe that we’ll never kiss or cuddle you ever again. It’s so unfair. You were perfect and special and we’ll never ever forget you.
Why did you have to go? Were you poorly?
Did you get hurt?
We’ll never know.
I wish I could turn the clock back and bring you back to us – we would spoil you even more than we already did.
If I’d known that you would be an angelcat today I would have given you such big love when I last saw you. I would have closed my eyes and breathed you in so I could always remember your sweet smell. I would have run my hands through your silky coat with your perfect mackerel stripes.
You had warm little ears and a whiskery nose. You had tiny little paws that you touched my face
with when we were cuddling.
You were funny and bossy and loving. I will never hear you purr or miaow again – it breaks my heart.
We loved watching you play with your sister, Badger. You chased around the house, knocking things over and jumping on all the furniture. You loved to burrow underneath the cushions on the sofa and make little dens where you curled up and went to sleep.
You went to heaven to be with Penny, Cindy, Pru, Miranda, Tessa and William. We will all miss you so much and never ever forget you, even though you were only
with us a short time.
We were lucky to have such a special little cat. I love you Boo and my heart is breaking because you are gone. I cannot stop crying for you.
It’s your first birthday on Tuesday. I should be buying you treats and toys that day – not collecting your ashes in a casket from the vet.
Bye bye beautiful Boo. Sweet dreams little one.
Bye bye little teddy-cat,
| Boo |
