Rascal was a little stray that came to our house with a belly full of kittens,we found homes for her three babies and could not find it in our hearts to give up Rascal so then there was four.
Are you Coming .
And God asked the feline spirit
Are you ready to come home?
Oh, yes, quite so, replied the precious soul
And, as a cat, you know I am most able
To decide anything for myself.
Are you coming then? asked God.
Soon, replied the whiskered angel
But I must come slowly
For my human friends are troubled
For you see, they need me, quite certainly.
We will miss you my little friend

That brought a tear to my eye, and a lump to my throat.
I have 5, and not long ago, I lost the oldest which was 21yo.
You certainly get attatched.

I’m so sorry you lost a good friend. Some people don’t realize how you must grief over a pet but I certainly do. Your writing was so heartfelt.

Condolences
But as you know
“Cats may come and cats may go but you were their pet not they yours!” :o)
I have 3 now I’m only meant to have 2 but you know which one don’t you keep? I had 4 but my big black boy decided the 2 dogs were too much for him and the old lady down the road gave him nicer tidbits [wish I knew he was moving out before I neutered him & saved myself a hundred dollars!]
Your rascal adopted you and loved you and thanked you for loving her.
Be happy for the time you had her.

A beautiful poem, Kathryn. You understand the independent spirit of cats – we need them more than they need us normally but they love us anyway. Rascal was obviously a beautiful feline soul.
