This is more of an Eulogy to the most loving and gentle soul I have ever known to have existed in the world and in my entire life, Kovu. There is so much that I wanted to say to my baby as I stood there beside him during his last moments. But all I could say to him was “I love you and I will never forget you”. I hope on everything that you understood all the times that I said I love you. How I rescued you as a stray, and how I spent all the money we had on your surgeries.
I’m sorry all those times I wasn’t in the mood to cuddle with you and the times where I was too lazy to get up and feed you or let you in. I hope you know that you were the only one that I have ever loved.
Kovu was the only one that has stood by me through all the sadness, the sickness, and the loneliness. We had found each other after my mother had left me and he seemed to be the only one in my life who has ever loved me with the same compassion and caring that I had to give.
Thank you for letting me cry with you when I was sad, cuddle with you when I needed a hug, sleep beside you on those scary nights when we were home alone, brightening my day, giving my company, love and support and just being my guardian angel.
People may not understand, nor they may never understand, the beautiful bond between a human and an animal. It is so much more than loving a member of a family (which I’ve never had), or falling in love with somebody. It is such a beautiful thing, the silent understanding between two very different souls. To somehow understand each other’s feelings for one another, when you need help, or to understand how you feel without
even saying something at all.
I know people who don’t even notice how I feel! and I think that animals know alot more than we all do, and I believe that is why god had intended for them to not be able to speak!
My beautiful cat was not just a cat in my eyes, he was a person; he had a soul; he was intelligent and loving and even through his illnesses. He still stood beside me and gave me all the love he had, even when it was he who was in need of somebody.
I hope you remember the times where I had told you how much I loved you. Please don’t ever forget me; I will never forget you and I’m sorry that there was nothing else I could do for you too feel better, just know I always did all I ever could do for you. You were the ONLY one I ever trusted, ever truly loved and believed in. I hope that one day we will both see each other again, and in good health.
I love you my sweetheart, my one and only Kovu.
Love & remember you forever,
