Sweet Simba, you were my faithful kitty companion for 16 years. It was hard to watch you go downhill so fast the past couple of days. But, in my heart, I know it was for the best. Your old age had caught up with you and I could tell you were in pain. You waited for me to caress your head and kiss you goodnight, then you breathed your last breath.
Now, you feel no more pain and will forever be in my heart. My beautiful, funny Simba. I will see you someday at Rainbow Bridge. I will love you always.
