Tribute To Georgie Cat 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 the angels came to now take you 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 special ways. You found the family that you would love, and charmed them so that they would take you in. So many years with joy and comfort of your loving ways...a 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 M. Haight ~1st Place~ Contest: Any Poem You Ever Wrote NOT For A Contest Sponsor: Broken Wings Judged: 07/13/2016 Georgie, a stray, adopted our daughter's family in 2002 when he was already about 3-4 years old, so he was between 17-18 years when he passed today May 2, 2016, and will be so missed by all of us.

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.
