Patches

My Sweet Little Girl, You were my “dog like”cat. You would extend your paw to touch my cheek, my arm, or my leg if I was sad , or if you thought that I didn’t know that you were right beside me. You loved kisses on the top of your head, and I loved your tuna breath kisses all over my face. You loved to stand in the bath tub, even when the water was running. You never quite figured out the shower in the new house, but you knew there was water there. It was just different. Patchy, you were my cat from the beginning. You were the quiet one, the intuitive one, the comforting one. You let me pet you for hours, cry into your fur, and snuggle with you when I needed a friend. Patchy, you and Sunny have been my constant companions through Daddy’s illnesses and his death. Because of you, I never came home to an empty house or felt alone. I will never forget you and I will always love you. Thank you for your unconditional love.
