Cat

To my beautiful Fudge

who passed away

after 16 and a half years in my life.

Pussycat you were my baby before I had a baby

and though you have been ill with your hyper thyroidism

I was so sure the medicine would

keep you with me for at least 1 more month

1 more day...But that was not to be.

One the afternoon of November 11

my Brianna called me at work

hysterical telling me you were stuck behind a door.

I flew home and you were so scared

you had gone blind but when I came into the room

and held you in my arms you calmed down

and even slept at little feeling safe in my arms.

That last trip to the vets broke my heart.

I stroked your fur and whispered

I Love You in your ear.

I couldn't stay to watch them

give you that final needle

but I could not bear to see you go.

I held you afterwards

and kissed your face (My Mr.Dirty Face)

and said goodbye one last time.

I have you back now.

I say goodnight to you every night

and good morning every morning.

Your ashes rest in the living room

and your picture is close by.

I love you Fudge

I even miss having to share my cold steak

or olives with you.

There will never be another cat like you.

My heart is broken and I miss you so.

But I know that you can see again

and that brings me some comfort.

Take care my Fudge.

Angela & Brianna
