1985 ----- 1992
Cat
Scooter,
You suckled my ears for moral support
and put your paws around me--
mutual comfort.
You always loved and never judged.
You enjoyed summer flowers and winter fires.
You purred contently through my sorrowful nights
and traveled from place to place with me
always making home sweet home.
You touched my soul and enriched my life.
I say good-bye
and remember you with a smile
and keep you close forever.
Sometimes I lose.
Then the real fight begins.
I must judge life by what it has been
and not what I expected it to be.
That frees me to live minute by minute
day by day a time frame
that renders
every bit of life precious.
Scooter and Ashley also on this site
were beloved littermates.
I aquired at three weeks old as a college freshman in Ashland Oregon.
Both died within two months of each other from FIP
--only seven and a half years old
always kept as indoor only cats.
The doctors say they were genetically predisposed to the disease.
I will always miss them.
