souls of our cats

tonight i was moving some photos onto our family's hard drive and i came across a folder belonging to me. in it were some early uni assignments, heartfelt yet dramatic post break up letters (aka cringeworthy essays!) to my high school boyfriend and this little poem that i found and printed out (complete with a clip art image of a cat!) when my cat fluffy passed away. i was 16 or 17 at the time and on my school ski trip when it happened. my boyfriend, and the recipient of my essays, had to break the sad news to me when i got home. the poor guy, i was distraught. i loved fluffy so much, she was a beautiful cat and a big part of our family. here she is one christmas day looking highly unimpressed (but still being a good sport!) that we've put a santa hat on her and tinsel around her neck. now we have the crazy, but equally as loveable, coco. we haven't tried anything like this on her yet, we'd have to catch her and pry a gecko from her mouth first!

rest in peace fluffy roney (pus)

once in a lifetime we meet a soul that makes us happy, a soul that we can tell anything, laugh with and hug. a soul that touches your heart, one that is so special that when they leave us, a part of us leaves too and all we can do is cry. but the beautiful yet strange thing is, that these souls are not of our boyfriends or family, they are in fact the souls of our cats.
