In Memory of Butterscotch

Once I had an orange and white striped kitty Who looked like a butterscotch candy She was a Maine Coon And made my heart swoon I saw her born a kitten baby And fell in love instantly Small and delicate for her size But was a lovable little prize Her fur was so soft and fluffy And she loved being stroked by me Always knowing treats were in store, She'd come running to meet me at the door Crumpled paper was her favorite toy Fetching with me she did so enjoy She used to sit upon my head To wake me up out of bed Kissing me on my brow Saying mom, get up right now She went to spayed one year ago But little did I know, That she was too fragile for the surgery And would end up an angel for eternity I had her for five precious years And still I cry many tears Dedicated to my Butterscotch cat that died one year ago after having surgery to be spayed. I miss you so much my precious angel. Mommy

Precious and heartbreaking. A beautiful, moving tribute. So sorry for your loss. While she lived, she most certainly was deeply loved. Love, Shar
