August 18 1997
Silver Grey Tabby
MY BELOVED CAT MEOWSAL PASSED AWAY LAST
YEAR ON THE 18TH OF AUGUST.
THAT MORNING HE WOKE TO OUR USUAL "CATTY KISSES"
AND I NOW KNOW THAT HE WAS SAYING HIS LAST GOODBYE.
MEOWSAL GAVE ME A LOOK OF GREAT PLEASURE
HE LOOKED HAPPY AND CONTENT.
HE KNEW HIS TIME HAD COME. HE HAD FOUGHT YEARS OF VET
OPINIONS THAT HIS HEART MURMUR WOULD MAKE
HIS LIFE A SHORT ONE ON THIS EARTH.
HE SUFFERED AND FOUGHT HIS WAY THROUGH A
DOSE OF THE CAT FLU. HE WENT ON TO BECOME A
VERY HEALTHY 17 YEAR OLD SILVER GREY TABBY.
I FOUND HIM IN MY BEDROOM UNDER MY DESK
ON TOP OF THE HEATER VENT. HIS PLACE.
I CAN STILL FEEL THE INCREDIBLE PAIN THAT SWEPT OVER ME
AS IT STILL DOES FROM TIME TO TIME.
MEOWSAL IS BURIED IN MY PARENTS FRONT COURTYARD
A PLACE WHERE HE ALWAYS SUNBAKED.
HE HAS A GREAT HEADSTONE THAT ANY HUMAN
WOULD BE ENVIOUS OF.
I MISS HIM WITH ALL MY HEART BUT I KNOW THAT I WAS
LUCKY TO HAVE HAD SUCH A GREAT FURRY FRIEND WITH
AN ENDLESS AMOUNT OF UNCONDITIONAL LOVE FOR ME.
I LOVE YOU "CATTY BOY" AND I MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY.
ALWAYS ON MY MIND FOREVER IN MY HEART.
WITH ALL MY LOVE
TIFFANY
XXXOOXXX
