It's quiet here... no one is begging for food or rubbing against me. There's no litter to be changed, no water bowl to fill. When I wake up in the middle of the night there will be no soft fur to reach for in my tiny little room.
Kitty has been with me every move, every change, every new chapter. But this time we are on separate journeys; after our goodbyes this morning we each moved on.
Thank you for 11 years of companionship, in my darkest days and my happiest. I almost returned you (!) after that first week because I thought you didn't like me. I couldn't have known then what a source of stability you would be for me. You used to play fetch like a dog and had the most awesome, deep, sincere purr of any cat I've met. You hung in there through seven moves in different cities, always finding your litter box (praise god), and remaining terrified of birds and the general out-of-doors.
I hear that kitty heaven is the bomb, so I hope you're living it up. I miss you here but know that we are both where we need to be.
and PS... Paranormal Activity was not the least bit scary.
Bye Kitty. I shall miss you. :(
