SNUGS 1988-2012

I can still see your bright blue eyes and feel your soft fur against me. You were so sweet and loving. You were always so patient with me, accepting any pill or injection I gave you, even though I know you hated it.

You asked for very little but you gave so much in return. When I was Ill, you kept me warm and soothed me. When I was sad, you had your clever ways to cheer me up. I could never resist your soothing, caring attention, and before I knew it we were playing and my sadness lifted. Now I have to manage without you, and it is difficult. My sadness is deep, as I miss you so much. You brought incredible comfort and joy to my life.

You had favorite games and would charm me into playing with you. I loved hide and seek. You would play until exhausted, rest a few minutes, and then be ready to play again. You loved gardening with me and I can’t put into words how much I enjoyed it too. You had special games with Rebecca too, and then would fall asleep in her lap.

You were beautiful to observe. I loved your poses that showed your perfect markings. You were so symmetrical, with your dark face, paws and tail, your blond body with a touch of blond in front of your ears.

You had the softest belly fur possible. You had an incredible personality. You were always positive, persistent, and full of energy. Even as you aged, your personality and spirit enabled you to keep going, even with very difficult and sometimes painful challenges. You inspire me with your enthusiasm for life. You were intelligent and curious, always wanting to explore your surroundings.

You will always be in my heart. But I miss you and would give anything to hold you again. I loved having you sleep by my side. There will always be a feeling of emptiness inside of me that you are no longer around to fill.

Today is a sunny, mild day.
Just the weather you enjoyed the most.
You are a treasure – the best cat I could ever wish for. You will always be missed.
I love you.

 

Snugs- a treasure who will be missed forever,
