"Minerva"

1979 ----- 1992

Feline

 

I worked at an animal hospital

when I first met Minerva.

She was already 10 years old

but so unusual

that I fell in love with her instantly,

She was just so special.

An apple head Siamese with a curly tail

she was so beautiful and we just connected

like no other animal I have ever met.

She boarded at the hospital a lot and I got to know her well.

It came as a real surprise to me one day

when her owners had to give her up

due to allergies in the family and they requested

for me to take her!

I was sad for them but thrilled for me!

I could not believe she would be my cat!!!

She gave me 7 wonderful years of her life.

She became my companion and dearest friend

it would not even be appropriate to call her my pet

she was truly a gift and an angel to me.

It has been about 10 years

since she died in my arms and I still get teary eyed

when I think about that day.

It was such a special thing she did

to breathe her last with me.

I will never forget her.

She taught me so much about love and

it has spilled over into my life

with all of my other cats.

She will always be my angel....

I love you Minerva and I can never forget you.

I am so thankful God gave us our time together!!!!

I know you are happy

at the Rainbow Bridge and can't

wait to see you again..

I will keep your memory alive by loving as many cats

as I can in this life time!!!
