Dawning Creations

You were the oddest feline.
Black fur hardly shedding,
soft as cotton and never irritating my skin.
Nor would it take over the furniture.

You loved to snuggle,
never pulling away when I kissed your black whiskers
and small ears.

I could not get angry with you,
no matter the silly things you would do.
Getting caught in the Christmas lights
or trying to drink the tree water
were just a few to mention.
I never minded your company
and you always wanted mine.
You’d lay on my laptop
while I’d try to type school papers.
When I’d reprimand you,
you would must meow and roll over.

I found it funny.
This was your personality.
You knew what would get our goats
and went with it.

I know I must have drove you crazy at times.
I was in and out of the house,
never letting you follow after me.

Let’s not forget the time I lost my flash drive.
I had a six page essay due.
My flash drive flew the coup.
When I was a mess,
yelling and tearing at furniture,
you didn’t hide.
You stuck by my side,
helping the anger to edge into calm.

I never got to say thank you,
not fully.
You filled my life with such joy,
boundless laughter.
A chubby cat in winter,
with a meow sounding like that of a kitten.
Your personality was unforgettable
as are the memories I have now.

Your memory will not stray from my mind .

You were the oddest feline,
fearless and lovely.
I miss you but I know you’re painless.
That’s a comfort to me,
even during times like these, when I’m missing you terribly.
