Oct. 1996 —— July 2 1999
Cat
I had just made the biggest most terrifying move of my entire life!
I had just gotten my first apartment of my own.
The place was really cool for a 21 year old female student as it
over looked the nearby Philadelphia skyline.
The only problem it seemed too quite and lonely.
I went out to the local shelter and found myself a cute tabby kitten
and named her Alexis. Two weeks later at my part time job I had
at the local mall a friend of mine said there was a lady who had
a box load of kittens she had to find homes for.
I took a look with absolutely NO intentions of taking on another kitten
and fell in love!!!! I took the left over runt of the litter and
hopelessly called him “Little Wee”.
Only 3 years had gone by and I was still madly in love with my
family of cats. I suddenly found myself in love with a human…at last!
My new beau and I spent much time together and soon got married.
We moved into a house and on our honeymoon I was feeling
very nervous about my cats being at home without my love
(even though they were being taken care of).
When we arrived home I was shocked to find Little Wee breathing
heavily and rapidly. I raced him to the vet and after 3 days spent in
an oxygen tank the vet told me the inevitable.
He died on a Friday afternoon July 2nd 1999.
I remember the vet ushered me in the room to say my final farewell.
As I peered into the little glass case I saw him give me
a final glance of peace.
It is a look I will never forget and he was a cat friend,
& love I will and can never forget!
