Night My Furry Little Friend

Night Night, My Furry Little Friend
To my beloved pet Lucy cat

I always thought we could prepare for anything, anything you brought to the table. Your shenanigans, your excess play, and even when you helped yourself to the Jon on my bed, ever so troublesome.

I remember the first day my dad brought you home. I think I was the last to see you, but we bonded so well, like we were always waiting for each other. You kept running under the bed like no man’s business, and when you got out, you created a scene because Mum was so scared of you and were my sisters. But I, I was never scared.

I never thought I was a cat person until I met you, and if there’s one thing in your short lifetime that you have taught me, it is to never say never. It’s so funny how you made everyone in the family start loving you, and we would never have known we loved cats if not for you.

When I received the news of your death, it all began to play back in my head. All the funny things you did. How you hated water and taking pictures, how you hated dirt and loud noise.
Your love for scrambled eggs and food that wasn’t meant for you. Always so troublesome.
I remember how you would hide in a corner whenever you saw anyone coming and start meowing so we could find you. Ever so dramatic.
Now you are gone; I no longer think of all these things with a smile on my face. To think I wanted you to meet Keem, the dog Dad got for me back at school. I know Cat and Dog don’t really co-exist, but I’m sure there would be a difference this time because Keem is just a sweet little doggy. Now that’s never going to happen, is it? I never believed in reincarnation, and I was told animals don’t have souls, but for your sake, I wish all that is only speculation.

Now I think back and wish I had let you stay with me when you came visiting. Maybe you would still be here; I wouldn’t have known any ways. Nevertheless, I will always keep your memory with me alive, so alive that I don’t think I will ever be getting another cat again because you cannot be replaced ever.

rest on lucy
