Kitten
I wanted a kitten for so long. My birthday was coming up
and I wanted a kitten but I didn`t get one.
One day I was at my friends`s party and my dad came to
pick me up.
My little sister said she got a kitten I didn`t believe her.
But my dad said it was true. I was so mad I felt like crying.
When I saw my sisters new kitten I instantly fell in love with
the kitten we had named her Smokey. She was the tiniest cat
that I ever saw. She had big blue eyes and her fur was all fuzz.
She was adorable. But then one night she got stepped on
she was acting weird. There weren`t any vets open in the town
where we live. So we took her to a emergency vet in Modesto
(by the way this happened around 9:00 p.m.).
They looked at her for a few minutes. They said she had a
“massive head trauma”. And they also said she didn`t have
a very good chance of living.
If she did live she would have had brain damage
and she wouldn`t do anything but just sit there.
We left here there for the night.
In the morning the vet called and said that she had died.
I cried over and over. I didn`t want to go to school but I did.
When I told my friend that Smokey had died I cried then
and I still cry to this day. I was mad and sad at the same time.
I was mad at God because he had taken her life away when
she was so young. She was only about 1 1/2 months old.
I love you Smokey and you`ll always be in our hearts no
matter what. We got another cat though she will never
be Smokey. But she is sweet just like Smokey was.
I will always love you Smokey.
