Miss Claudia,

You came into our lives suddenly and completely,
a small sweet girl who learned to love and trust after years on her own. You made it perfectly clear that you were not “our” cat – you were “your own” cat, who allowed us to be a part of your life.

We’ll miss your quirks and sweetness – we felt such pride in being able to help you, a feral kitty, learn to enjoy human company. We’ll miss the way you drooled when you were happy, your short little tail, your broken-hum of a meow, your high-step kneading/marching, and seeing you rub and tease the doggies. You were always there to greet us in the morning, and there on the porch when we returned home from work – we’ll miss having our little tag-along during our evening walks!

You were and are loved more than we could ever express in words. God Bless and God Speed on your journey – we’ll see you at the Bridge.

 

Chris
