To My Loving Cat Tabitha,
Oh Tabitha, your Mommy and Daddy miss you so much. I can tell that your sisters do also.
I miss you sitting with me everyday and I would sing to you about how beautiful, furry, snuggly and cuddly you were. You are my Pretty Precious Princess.
Daddy misses you purring him
to sleep and licking his hand clean.
Little Zoë was lost the first few weeks without you, her sidekick. She seems to be coming around now.
Sadie your youngest sister had just met you and only had your presence in her young life for a month, but she also misses you hanging with her in the kitchen
in the middle of the night.
Your oldest sister Sabrina misses you also, even though she did not show you love all the time, because she thinks she is the queen of the house, I can tell because she took your place at Daddy’s head in bed.
When we brought you home, you were 6 months old and the entire weekend you purred, you were so happy to be out of the cage at the SPCA. 12 years later and you were purring the entire time and at the vet’s office and when we left you. Cancer had overwhelmed your stomach and we had no choice but to give you peace. That was the hardest thing I ever had to do in my life.
It is hard when a pet dies,
but it is even harder
to have to put one down.
I had a private cremation for you and brought home your ashes. I have a little shrine in the living room with your pictures and favorite toy. I even have your purr recorded on a Christmas Ornament and I listen to it sometimes, and remember how loud you would roar. I will always remember you and miss you. Until we meet at the Rainbow Bridge.
