I miss you


"I said goodbye to you today, little cat.
Fingers caught on bones when I stroked your fur.
You could scarcely raise your head to drink,
yet still you calmed me with your purr.

Were you comfortable curled on the rug?
And did you know your time drew near?
Your wide green eyes held gentle love,
and quiet pain, but showed no fear.

You slipped away so quietly
that we weren't sure that you were gone.
Our bouncy little cat is stilled
but your spirit lingers on.

Little ghostcat, where are you?
Are you happy, are you strong?
I feel your warmth, your life, your love

and still can hear your purring song."

My oldest cat Tiivitaavi (= Tinky - Winky) passed away the last tuesday. It was vomiting a lot and it looks really sick. Me and my mom went to take it to the vet and the doctor took some blood samples. When the doctor comes with her news, she said that Tinky-Winky has very high kidney values and there is nothing left to do. the doctor gave the peak and we just cried. on the way home I cried all the time. I had not cried for a long time so much.. Tinky- Winky was only 8 years old, strong and a happy cat, but now it's gone... Rest in peace Tiivitaavi, I miss you so much.
