Our cat of 19 years recently walked away from the house...never to return, I assume. I have written a poem to honor her. It is on my blog with pictures. Here is the poem.
You Just Walked Away
By Sherone Taylor
You just walked away
No notice, no words
Orange tail twitching.
A splotch of white
In a field somewhere
Under a fallen limb?
No noise to tell us
You might need help
With your dying.
Nearly twenty years
You meowed “NOW!
Feed Me Now!”
Today, you walked away
No notice, no words
All to save us sorrow.

Sherone, beautiful poem. So sorry for your loss but take comfort that Missy did it her way. Cats are famous for being the boss of their world.

Thanks, Sara and Judith. She definitely did it her way, as evidenced by the picture on my blog of her stealing the dog's bed. She was mean one minute and sweet the next. She will be greatly missed.

Sherone,
I'm soooo sorry! I know exactly how that feels. Our kitty, "Skye" disappeared in early December of 2012. She was almost 17 years old. She was active and in good health and I don't believe she went away to die, I believe that a predator got her. Sooooo hard!
Your poem is beautiful!
Sending hugs!
CJ
