'My Sneezer'

by Molly Rose
(U.S.)

I'm 17 years old and I had a cat named Sneezer. She was 20 years old when she died, so I've known her my whole life. We had to put her down because she was dying from kidney failure.

We put her down in September and it's December right now, and I'm still randomly just bursting into tears because I miss her so much. The day before we had to put her down, I think I cried at least 5 or 6 times that day.

It sucked because my parents picked the first day of school to put her down. Let me tell you, that was the worst first day of school ever. I have her name posted on my wall and sometimes when I see it I just start crying cause I miss her so much.

Sneezer had to be the prettiest cat ever. She had brown, black and white fur, with really bright green eyes. She also had the loudest meow. I think I would give anything to see her right now.

I love you Sneezer.

Until we meet again, Molly
