After sixteen years with me my Shady Cat's life ended and I had to let him go. He had entered my life as a shy, scared little kitten rescued from a garbage bin. He found family, and I found a good friend to the end, gracing me with his presence. When I think of life's small joys, I think of family times, Christmas morn, and Shady Cat. He could not have been more loved, and I wish him well upon his spiritual journey. (Blank Verse) 9/29/2017

Emile, this brought tears to my eyes, I felt your love and pain in each word, these furry creatures just get into our hearts and when they leave they take a piece of us with them, rip Shady ~
