Georgie, a stray, adopted our daughter's family in 2002 when he was 
about 3-4 years old, so he was between 17-18 years when he passed 
May 2, 2016, and he will be missed by all of us.



Dear George, our cat grand-baby, now you're gone;
our hearts are saddened on this rainy day.
Your family found out this early dawn
those angels came to take you now away.

We do remember how you came to them...
a stray, you wouldn't leave the porch for days.
A handsome, large tuxedo cat, a gem...
you won their hearts in many unique ways.

You found the family who you would love
and charmed them so that they would take you in.
So many years, with joy and comfort of
your loving ways...their special gift you've been.

Goodbye, sweet Georgie, now you fly away
to kitty heaven...find Felisha, Charlie,
Lucy, Bessie, Tessie...to now play
with these sweet kitties that were family.

Sandra, I am brushing tears away, oh you have indeed penned a beautiful tribute to Georgie, it is so hard when we lose these pets that give unconditional love. I had a stray also that pushed his way into my life and he was also about 4 at the time, and died at 15 and was my best friend, and I was shattered, I cried for days and still do when I think of him, I have a beautiful pic just like you do of my precious Grumpy (at first he hissed at me, so I called him Grumpy) ~~

Thank you, Broken Wings. You love cats as I do, and both my daughters do too. They become family and their unconditional love is above and beyond. Sorry for your loss too, and I know how you can identify with this kind of loss. Thank you for your nice visit and supportive comment. Hugs, Sandra

Hi Jan, thank you so much for stopping by to read my poem. Even though he was our daughter's cat, we took care of him a lot and he was so special. When my cat, Charlie, passed after 19 years, I never had another. They truly get to be part of the family. Thanks for your nice comment. Hugs, Sandra

I believe they go to heaven and I sure do hope we get to be with them again as well. GREAT tribute to Georgie!!

Really lovely tribute, Sandra. I had two tom cats, both lived for twenty years. They are a great loss when they go.
