We met ten years
ago when I moved into my new house in Toronto. A year later,
you adopted me and for the next nine years you were a good
friend, loyal companion, and boss of the house. I miss
you meeting me at the door on my arrival home from work,
chatting away in your beautiful voice about your day, and
sitting in the garden together on warm summer days. You
will never be forgotten.

Nina, you were so
little and delicate, but your mind and your will were.
so strong.
I will always remember
your small head with oriental features, your quiet demeanor
almost belonging to another world, your soundless meowing
that penetrated deeply into my heart, your sweet and acute
eyes that spoke volume. So little, yet so strong: together
we fought for your life , your determination supported
my determination, but in the end we both lost the battle.
Your short life left
an indelible mark and a painful emptiness. We are consoled
only by the thought that you were much loved by all of
us and you died peacefully amongst friends. We and the
other kitties are missing you. Melanie especially cared
for you and Sunny fell sick when you died. May your sleep
be restful and peaceful until we will meet again. May all
our love, dear Nina, ,be with you in the afterlife.
~ Mom Claudia, kitties: Sunny, Melanie, Jasmine
and siblings

No one told me the
way I should feel
You left an aching heart
Lost and lonely the feeling goes on
You were the one friend I had
You gave me so much love
Now the tears remind me you're gone
It still haunts me
There's a silence where you used to be
It still haunts me
Just an empty space in history
It still haunts me
But life must go on; on and on and on
Dear Anvil, A gentler
cat I never knew. My eyes miss seeing you, my
hands miss touching you, and although Almighty God took you back to Him
much too soon, rather than mourn your death, I will celebrate your life,
and thank Almighty God for the three and a half years that I was blessed
with your presence. I look forward to the day, my dear friend, when we
will once again be reunited; as Almighty God will never let the love I
gave you go in vain. So rather than say goodbye, I will say; See you soon
in Paradise my dear friend.
"There
is not an animal that crawls through the earth, nor a
bird
that flies on its two wings, but they are communities like you. We have
left nothing out of the Book. Then to Almighty God will they all be
gathered." The Holy Qur'an 6:38
