RIP PRETTY (Our Beloved Cat)
As I lay here in bed, I feel a part of me has died. Usually on the weekends, as we wake up late, Pretty would come upstairs to say good morning, but not this Sunday morning.
Im afraid to go downstairs because for the first time in many years, I’ll see her bed empty. Her treat bowl will still have treats. Her food bowl will still have food. Her water bowl will still have water. Her dry food bowl will still have dry food. The cans of food will still be there along with the bag of dry food and treats.
For the first time in nearly seventeen years I will not feed her today. I will not clean her liter box today. I will not feel here beautiful fur today. I will not talk to her today. She will not follow me around today. She will not be sitting there looking at me. I will not hear her meow and purr today. I will not shake the treat bag today. Instead we will have to put it all away forever.
Many times she loved looking out the screen door. Sometimes I would sit and talk to her while looking outside. She did enjoy watching the sunrises.
Once in a while a neighborhood cat would come and say hi to her, but the next time he comes she won’t be there.
We are so grateful that we had her. We will truly miss her love. We will miss her sitting next to us and or sitting on top of us. Not only did she give us love but she kept us company and gave us comfort through all the bad times.
There is a terrible void here. They say a death of a pet can be as hard as losing a family member. Today, we lost a family member.
We will miss you Pretty. There will never be a cat like you. We will never forget you. We will always cherish you. You will be in our hearts forever. We will always love you.
Good Bye Pretty.
