Description: My cat Mugshot passed away yesterday 3/19/06 at 8:45pm, we think she had a heart attack...we tried cpr, but she didnt make it. I had her for 11 years and she was the best cat ever. She could sit and beg chase off dogs but terrified of cats...just wonderful....and very missed.
To my cat -------------------------------------------
A part of my family has passed today
No more love in her kitty way
A wonderful friend
Who shared my life
From only a girlfriend
To now a wife
From life as a single
Then to a baby on the way
Even though you couldn’t talk
You always knew what to say
Words cannot express
This sorrow I bear
No more time
For us to share
But I will remember you
My family friend
I cannot be happy now
But I will pretend.
This is a lovely poem Denise, even if it is sad! Sometimes, the only place we find unconditional love is from our pets! I'm sorry for your loss, but loved your heartfelt poem.
I have a manuscript of cat poems, and a few are posted at my site. You might like "The Tom Cat and The Mockingbird".
This made me cry. I use to own cats and had two of mine die. This made me think of all of them. They were my friends and were a great source of comfort to me in ways people fail to be. I'm sorry for your loss. This was a great poem in her memory.
AWWWWWW...poor kitty! Cats are cool, well, some of them, I had a devil cat once! This was such a sweet tribute to your cat. Pets become family, especially dogs and cats. You can always tell how a persons loyalty is by the length of time they keep a pet.
I love the way you wrote this, its like a little song. But I thing it sorta of belittles your sorrow with its childish tune or was that your intent on masking your feelings as you said in the poem of pretending?
On the all it was a good write, real sorry to hear about your cat. Losing a pet, sorry a family member after 11 years can be quite a hard thing to cope with.
This was an interesting write, keep up the good work and have a blessed day.
this is just heartbreaking and brought me to tears. i have 10 cats, and i have lost a few along the way. they have been my best friends, always. and that's what it is like, losing a best friend. my heart goes out to you. when my Willy Small passed away (he was only 2 years old), my roommate had a wake/party for him, and i found that very healing. we invited friends and celebrated his life.
feel free to PM if you'd like to talk or just vent. i'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
