We know he's up in heaven- Charlie Cat- a sweeter pet than he- could never be. My hubby-fireman, rescued him one night from fiery flames- then took him home to me. He showed his gratitude in many ways- with sweet meows and gentle, loving eyes. More like a puppy, he'd be at our side; asleep all night- then pat my cheek to rise. No matter where- he'd answer to our call and run to jump into our loving arms. A plain, gray tabby cat, for sure, was he- with faithful mood and altruistic charms. We picture him with wings and halo crown- green sparkling eyes that still say I love you; we feel his presence, often late at night, beside us reading- as we used to do. He passed away at twenty years of age. We know he's up in heaven- for you see with thankfulness, he blessed us every day; a kinder pet than he- could never be.
