My Forever Family

When I come home your always there, So happy to see me with those, Droopy ears and beautiful eyes, That only have love for me. When I walk in the door they're, Jumping up and down barking in, Competition with your feline sister, Who just wants to rub up against my leg. Happy are the times when I'm with, My Forever family of furry four, Legs and cold noses. One day walking up to the door, I hear a howling sound inside, I know what that means then, I hear the whining and my heart breaks. I see his sister who lies still, not moving. I lift her she is so cold. He licks my face telling me, That He misses her too.

Hello Oklegirlsrock, How long did you have your cat? Was your cat a Tabby? Did you have her when she was a kitten? I now have a cat female a rescues. She is a patch Tabby and she is 9 years old. Hugs

We had company and they wanted to see Sparkles, So they peeked under the bed, and Sparkles ran off under another bed. I have not figured out how to get her to lay on my lap. Nor have i tried to pick her up if I can not catch her- how do I pick her up Hugs.

Hello Oklegirlsrock, Sparkles is a rescue sand she is 9 years old. She is a patch tabby. Her eyes are green. She is affectionate. Sleeps with me every night. She loves to play with a shoe lace. Also her mouse. She was brought to the vet for dental work. She had a cleaning and her gum fixed.She also has a heart murmur keeping an eye on that.

She wasn't a kitten when she died....she was 10 yrs old. The way I wrote it was a little confusing.
