Hi everyone,
Please find below the latest entry in Purrsday Poetry by Jennifer Barraclough.
FOR FELIX, 2000-14
We loved one another for fourteen years
Remembering you now brings back my tears
You came as a fragile rescue kitten
As soon as we met my heart was smitten
Although you and I were perfectly matched
Other admirers would often get scratched
I was the mother that you never had
Nursed you with care when your health became bad
Although the vets were so clever and kind
They could not help as your vigour declined
Why you were so sick nobody could say
Sadly I watched as your life ebbed away
One night when I lay awake on the bed
A cold breeze told me your spirit had fled
I laid you to rest in a garden tomb
Where irises and sweet violets bloom
Passage of time will perhaps dim the pain
Till on the Rainbow Bridge we meet again

Sorry for your loss. I know what losing a cat or any pet is like. Not fun. I’m sure he’s in a better place now. I lost my last cat 9-11-2015. I have another cat now. I hope you get another get. Cats are a great comfort and they relieve stress.
Thank you on behalf of our guest author
