I knew when I saw you in that cage waiting for someone to love you that you had been sent to me. You were perfect. My little tiny no tailed kitty! I took you home and immediately you became a member of the family.
You brought me so much joy and love. It still amazes me! I miss that so much. The way you loved each box I would bring home from the store. It would become your hide out, your cave, and a place to explore. The toys you loved to chase. The catnip…you knew as soon as I went to the cupboard and grabbed the container. This was one of your favorites.
I miss the way you would meow and walk just out of reach and lie down and give your belly to us so we would have to walk over to you and rub your belly! You were so smart.
Each morning I would wake up and there you would be. You loved the dresser, Shortie the bed, but you two were always with me. I don’t think I ever was alone in a room. One of you helped me with everything. You loved to help make the bed and hide under the sheets. Over the past year, you always sat with me while I worked on the computer. You either came to me and said hold me or just sat by me and watched everything happening in our back yard. You were wonderful! I miss you so.
I would give anything to have the ‘presents’ you would leave for me to clean up or the messy spills you would make from your cat food. I miss those things! I miss you!
You were my friend, my companion. When times were rough or I was ill, you were with me. When I was happy, you were right by my side.
I told you and Shortie a long time ago, my life was complete. I did not need another kitty. I meant it. For the first time in my life, my little family was exactly how it was supposed to be. Now you are gone. I know you are not far away and you are watching, but there is an emptiness that only you can fill. I wish we would have had more time on this earth, but I feel very blessed that I had the time with you that I did and that I walked into the pet store that day.
Know this Sammy, you are in my heart, you are in me. I love you and will never forget you. You are a special baby to me. Someday your sister Shortie will join you and someday I will too. That day will be a joyous time and we will always be together!
I miss you my little ‘Tammy’, my little Sammy Joe!
I love you!
