LITTLE KITTY PRAYER
Small one, now that you have departed, I remember.
I remember the misadventures of kittenhood,
When enthusiasm courted disaster at every turn;
But who could remain angry at the little furball,
Wrapped to a small pile of sleeping and purring fur?
Or when you were grown, could I forget the way
You would greet me? A meow, a head-bump, a cheek
To the leg, just to say "Hello." I remember the way
You played, even once in a while the kitten would
Surface in you as a grown cat. I recall you being
Spooked at the most trivial thing, and fascinated
By something I couldn't see. I remember the gentleness
Of your paws and the softness of your step. I remember
The gracefulness of your leaps and the ease with
Which you relaxed. The cries for attention, the need for
Solitude. The times you wouldn't be satisfied no matter
Which side of a door you were on. And I remember your love.
You have left me now, little one. Your place cannot be filled,
But then, with the memories, is it ever empty?
Walk proud, head high, to wherever good little ones go.
May you know happiness, and love, and a life of sleeping,
Prowling, exploring, and those thousands of things that kept
You occupied when you were with me.
May your pawprints be eternal, my faithful one.

all that obvious love. She was a lucky kitty.
God keep you.

So sorry to hear of your loss, and try to think of the good times.
Just think of how lucky you both were to have 19 wonderful years

2038.13 | thanks all | PARITY::WHALEN | And may the traffic be with you | Wed Dec 07 1988 16:38 | 10 |
| Thanks so much everyone for your support. I know I can always
count on fellow cat lovers to understand and help another who is
in deep pain. No one in the world could realize how incredibly close
we were together. We were both very lucky indeed.
Re: .4 Steve, that poem was just wonderful, made me cry again,
but that's ok. I had to print it out to bring home to
the others to read to them.
thanks, Denise

| I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. I hope that you have many
pleasant memories of Ruby to help you through this sad time.
Perhaps, as soon as the vet says its safe, you can go to a shelter
and find some new companions. I know its hard right now to think
about getting other kitties, but when I lost my Kathryn (just short
of age 2) that's what helped me. The new kitties could never replace
her, but they were soft and warm and affectionate and I could take
care of them. They helped fill the hole in my heart.
Take care.

p.s. There is now a vaccination available for FlV.
