Sunny came into my life when I was 3 years old. He was the best cat. He was the kind of cat that stood by you in the good and bad times. He wasn’t like a cat, he was like a person just in fur. I swear I can still feel his back rubbing against my legs, his gentle kitty kisses, or just his humble spirit staying here on earth. I still think he is here. And in a way he is.
He touched so many people. I will always love him. We don’t know how Sunny passed away, my neighbor called us at about 11:45 pm, and said Sunny was in their garage and didn’t sound to good. So while I slept my parents went to go get Sunny. Then Sunny came back, he looked exhausted and was having trouble breathing and his organs were slowing down. His heart beat was so slow. I remember just reaching over the bed and gently kissing Sunny and I said, “Goodbye, and Goodnight Sunny, I love you so much.” Then I went back to my room. And at approximately 3:00 am Sunny could not live any longer, God had whispered, “Sunny, dearest one come home.” So Sunny took his last breath and fell over. I woke up in a good mood, (I guess I had been to tired to remember anything that had happened that night) so I went down stairs and my dad was in a chair, so I asked “Where’s Sunny?” And my dad said, “He died.” And because he didn’t want me to break down he kept smiling and so I thought it was a joke, so I asked again, where is Sunny, and he said, “Really Kristen he passed away at about 3:00 this morning. I then had no self-control.
I screamed, wanted to run away, just sat there in front of my dad on my knees, he just kept smiling, and I screamed at him, “How can you not care, you never cared about him, look what you did to him.” (they had tension between them, my dad is not exactly a cat person.) My dad responded, “who was the one that was up at 3:00 with Sunny and had to take him to the shed.
Then I remembered that night at around 3:00 I had a dream of Sunny coming back to me just rising up to heaven but on the way up, he rubbed his back against my legs, kissed me and then meowed, as his way to say thank-you. I highly doubt that happened but if he could he would have wanted that to happen.
That night at 12:00 was the last time I ever saw Sunny. Sunny now lies in peace in my back-yard. With stones in the shape of a cross that my dad made. My dad claims he cried, and felt sorry that he ever
had a quarrel with Sunny.
“Hey Sunny,
It is me Kristen, I miss you every day of my life. To tell you the truth you changed my life so much, I love you. I miss you. You will ALWAYS be my little kitty-kitty.”
Hey Sunny,
The wild bunch here, we can’t be the wild bunch without to go and hunt squirrels for us. We miss you, and we are sorry we barked at you every second. We love you and will never forget you.
Love,
The Wild Bunch
