When you love an animal so much that your lives intertwine…. when that animals life brings a new dimension to yours, and fills it with love… sweet purrs… warmth and cuddles when the rest of the world seems to fade… that is a true friendship. And our sweet Boo-Kitty was a friend to us all… she was the happy face at the end of an ugly day… who’s loud purr could perk a smile out of any face…
even with a 4am wake up call demanding to be fed (you fatty!!), you always made us happy.
Now who will wake up dad at random times in the middle of the night?
Who will rattle the blinds in the dark, for a kibble of food?
Who will “call/cry out” for glitter balls, waiting to be played with?
Who’s butt will we scratch for a good giggle?
What will we do with Spanky, when she needs someone to cuddle under the covers?
and Who will swat at the children when they are being naughty, lol?
…..But seriously, who will watch the “shadows” for us now, Boo-Kitty?
I believe that just like us, animals have little souls inside of their soft and cuddly exteriors… and Boo-Kitty was no exeption. Sweet Boo, not only were you a beautifully kitty with your white fur and piercing blue eyes… but those blue eyes were deep and loving, true windows into your kitty thoughts, which even seemed to smile at times.
Never had I met a cat like you, Boo-Kitty… one that had a human persona, even “talked” on the phone to Aj on a daily basis (lol). When your Pops was sad… you cheered him up. When your “Ma” was busy, you would find a way to distract her and bring smile to her hardworking face. You were Aj’s buddy, his playmate and constant companion at Nani’s house… the one to pull a giggle out of him each and every time you entered a room to play “ribbons” with him. God knows, your sister cat won’t know how to even face the night time w/o you at her side… poor Spanky, you were her guiding light, her every waking thought (as dramatic as it sounds, I promise it’s the truth!), and her better half, lol 🙂 The ying to her yang (even in color!).
Sweet Boo-Kitty, I’m grateful you didn’t have to suffer… but I’m so very very sad you are gone. Visits to Nani’s will never “feel” the same, as you were many times the highlight of our trip.. and blue eyes will never look as beautiful to me, as they did on your sweet face.
Losing a pet is never easy, especially when we’ve lost so much this past year… but losing Boo-Kitty is not only losing a pet… We lost a friend, a companion, a “light” in our daily lives.
In one happy thought… we can all find comfort that Boo-Kitty will have some pretty amazing and warm laps to lye on in Heaven… Pick one Boo… or pick them all… God knows I would if I were you 🙂
Love and miss you Boo-Kitty… and forever more will every kitty in my life be compared to you.
So GO FISHING BOO-KITTY!
Catch the big one, and don’t worry about sharing with Spanky 🙂
The tank is yours… enjoy sweet Kitty…..
