They will not go quietly,
the cats who’ve shared our lives.
In subtle ways they let us know
their spirit still survive.
Old habits still make us think
we hear a meow at the door.
Or step back when we drop
a tasty morsel on the floor.
Our feet still go around the place
the food dish used to be,
And, sometimes, coming home at night,
we miss them terribly.
And although time may bring new friends
and a new food dish to fill,
That one place in our hearts
belongs to them….
and always will.

My good friend Shel recently lost his pet and longtime companion. He is taking donations to allow him to have a cremation instead of the usual disposal. At least stop by and see what he has to say. The loss of any friend is tough..
