A sweet cat and loving companion
Yoda
by damommy
Ordinarily, I don’t write anything sad or gloomy, but the passing yesterday of a dear, sweet cat is so much on my mind at this moment.
Yoda was a large cat that could only be described as champagne colored. He had the patience of Job with new kittens, and the sweetest disposition with everyone. His huge round eyes were so full of love and innocence that it would wring your heart to look at them.
Always at my side like a furry magnet, I miss him tremendously already. He seemed to always know my moods, and if there was ever the hint of a tear in my eye, he was right there to comfort and love me. He slept on his back in my arms every night like a baby, and would snuggle and ‘kiss’ me when it was time to go to sleep. He never outgrew his kittenish comfort of sucking his toe before falling asleep.
It was a hard decision to make for him yesterday, but he couldn’t be fixed up or healed, and would only suffer in a short while. I couldn’t let that happen to him. He deserved better. His ‘siblings’ are looking for him, and there’s no way to explain to them where he is. But as my veterinarian said (one of the kindest people I know), we will all be reunited someday.
Those of you who prayed for Yoda, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
