" Sunny & Moony " 1996
Orange Striped ............ Black Cat
Before I was born and taken to my house as a baby
my family of my mom and dad had a lot of pets.
Of course you can love them all but sometimes one or more
can just stick top you and change the way you feel.
Sunny was my cat he slept with me in my bed every night
curled up really close. Sunny's brother Moony liked to sleep by
the heaters and chew the tubes and rubber that kept the bubbles
working on the aquariums where the fish and turtles lived.
When Moony was a baby my parents got him from someone
and moony had a lot of problems.
Moony almost died about 3 times. My parents saved him.
Moony had a lot of problems and spent a lot of time at the vet
until before he was put to sleep I was about 11 years old
we had just moved into our new house.
We had been there for at least 4 months and moony was fine.
After a while Moony couldn't control his bladder and
other things started to become wrong with him.
We had him put to sleep.
Sunny my cat after we moved into the house didn't like to
sleep in my room. He slept with moony and found other secret
hiding places around the house.
He was still "my cat" and I loved him a lot. But a while
after Moony was gone sunny started getting slower.
I will never forget the night it happened. We were getting ready to
leave for our vacation to our cabin but we were planning on
staying to see what was wrong with Sunny.
I was going on my way down the hall and in the living room
I heard a shrill loud cry from Sunny. I went to see what was wrong,
and beyond saving Sunny's insides fell out from his ribs.
It was very sad and I felt so bad I spent hours with him sitting
by him. He was under a small table laying there hollering from
time to time. He hadn't ever come into my room since we were
in the new house and that night when I had to leave him under
the table (he couldn't be moved or he would have died) I managed
to go to sleep. I woke up early the next morning and through the
night my Sunny managed to pull himself along the floor from the living
room through the kitchen down the hall way to the dining room and
into my bedroom on the floor at the foot of my bed.
I woke up and I thought he was better.
I leaned down to pet him and I froze. I petted him again.
He was stiff and cold and my heart nearly sunk to my feet.
I was so sad I ran to get my mom from the other room and she came
to see if he was really dead. He was and we cried for him.
It was really sad and I couldn't believe that he had never stayed
in my room since we moved from our old house in 4 months
he never even came into my room unless I moved him there.
And then sometime during the night he made his way to my room.
I was so happy that he wasted to be with me I was so sad
that I didn't know he was there and I was very sad that he died.
It made me really sad and the next day we went on our vacation.
We put sunny in a box into a old cooler and we took
him to the cabin.
We buried him on a small hill and put on a cross
with the name Sunny etched into it.
I missed him but I knew,
he still loved me.
