Farewell to a Feline Friend

Cat, a handsome tuxedo’d fella, passed a few days ago at the age of eighteen.  He’s now frolicking with his brother, Mouse, in kitty heaven—scampering after catnip balls and feather-boa toys, and sunning on comfy windowsills.

It’s always sad to lose a beloved pet . . . a dear companion, a best friend, a member of the family.  When they’re gone, there’s a big, dull [unhappy] void.

While their departure from this mortal coil is heartrending, we can take solace in knowing we provided our furry friends with a good home abundant with love.  They, in turn, offered affection and cheer.  What a wonderful ending to a busy or stressful day: having a purring cat lounging on a lap or snuggling up in bed.

Here’s to you my dear feline friend.  You’ll be missed.
