Our last day together...

Well woke this morning with a heavy heart that our baby was gone. Nobody to greet us this morning as we woke, or snuggled up in bed with us. Nobody following me round the house as the kids for ready for school and had breakfast. He followed me around everywhere like a lapdog and to be honest I spent most of the day out of the house to avoid the reality that he's gone forever. I can't even bare to lift his cat bowls.

Took this yesterday in the morning before he started to go downhill even more. Always reaching out for you, snuggling up, even while he was so weak. I couldn't even work on my laptop on the sofa without him wrapping his paws around my wrist while I typed (or sitting on the keyboard). He was the most loving & effectionate cat I ever had the pleasure to share my life with and honestly my heart aches at the thought of never seeing him again. As he passed away and my husband and I spent a while with him before he was taken away, I just couldn't bare to let him go, thinking I'll never experience the feel of his soft velvet coat against my skin again, the smell of his fur or that beautiful loud purring and chatty little voice. Or how he used to snuggle into my hair almost like it reminded him of snuggling his mother when he was a kitten. It was really hard to let him go.....
