Your Pet Tributes

We lost you on Christmas night. You were so sick we tried everything we could but as your mom cat said God must have wanted a Christmas gift. He knew you were special and we believe that is why he took you on Christmas day.

Slugger you were the best cat in the world and you gave us so much happiness and love we will miss you the rest of our lives on Earth.

I will miss seeing you in the mornings while getting ready for work, grabbing my shoe strings, anytime I go outside I will miss seeing you, I'll miss not seeing you at 5:00 knowing it was almost time for your wet food and you looking at me like I was never going to feed you again. I will miss not seeing you greet me when I come home from work. Every time I buy your sister cat food I will think of you and the beef feast you loved so much. I'll fondly remember the days when we played string. You were so strong and you got so excited.

I see you everyday whatever I do. You are on my mind and my heart aches for you.

Your mom cat will alway miss playing "patty face" and you sleeping in the bed. The house seems so empty without you in it. Your sister cat misses you and seems lonely without you.

I never thought when we got you that you would have such a huge impact on my life but you claimed me and you made me feel sort of special and proud to have your companionship and love. It was almost a spiritual experience to sit with you and communicate with you by the connection of our souls.

I miss your head butts and nose kisses and I wish I had you here with me.

We know you are in a better place and that you are not suffering anymore. We love you so much Slugger and I know we will see you again someday.
