My Cats, My Heart

Tux

I have always been a cat lover. 7 years ago I adopted two wonderful cats; Coco and Tux. I lost them both over the course of a year and a half. Coco was killed by my neighbor’s dog last year when she snuck out of the window in the middle of the night. Just yesterday I had Tux put to sleep. It was hard losing Coco and it was harder to lose Tux. I feel guilty that she was alive as I drove her to be put to death. I listened to her meow all the way there. She stared into my eyes, and I wondered if she knew. I wondered how much pain she was in and if she would be happy or mad or sad if she did know that her life was about to end in a matter of moments. In my heart though, I feel it was best. She was sick and she won’t hurt any more. I held her tight and kissed her as she was injected. I hope that she was not scared and that instead she was comforted by my presence. She was my husband’s girlfriend, always following him into the bathroom!

I loved those two cats dearly. I will never forget them, and this is dedicated to them. My cats, my heart! I will always love you…at least the two of you are together again. R.I.P. my loves.
