Your Pet Tributes

'Unnamed'

On that November day (2020) when you ran up to me I knew I would be taking you home. So tiny and so little, seemingly abandoned.

You were so cute and so loving, and then you grew up. You didn’t like it when I would pick you up. I always wished you wanted my affection and sometimes I admit it was hard to respect your wishes. I just loved you so much.

So much so in fact I couldn't even name you. Nothing fit, and so when we started calling you l”baby cat” it seemed like I would always have the time to think of the perfect awesome name for you.

Unfortunately that was not so.

As this November (2022) you left me behind.

I am so devastated, absolutely destroyed. I find it hard to accept and I am still in denial. It’s hard to accept the fact that you are gone and I will never see you again. It can’t be.

But it is so.

I write this so that I may accept what has happened but always leave a public reminder of my love for you. The pain hurts so much and I wish for it to go away but I want to make sure that if you can somehow see this that you know… that no material possession I could ever have will ever compare to you.

That no fleeting moment of happiness when I eventually am able to pull myself out of this funk will ever negate the love and adoration I have for you.

I'm stuck between the world of wanting to heal but to never forget.

And I will not do so. You will live on forever in my heart little baby cat.

If reading this has brought up something you’re carrying, you don’t have to sit with it alone.

A quiet safe place to connect, share and reflect, whenever you feel ready:
