To my Kittypoo, Couchieboochie, and before me, Candy.
This is way overdue, but not because you haven’t been and are still missed.
You slept in this cradle when you became very ill. The other cats will not and have not touched it. I finally got the courage to depart with it today. I miss you gravely, and am still very sad that you’re gone.

Almost daily I think of your sassiness and the love that we shared. Of all the cats (3) that I’ve owned before you, I had never had a connection with any one of them that you and I had, not even a dog (before Lucy, of course). You were my companion and helped me through some difficult adjustment phases after moving to Montgomery (which is when Angel & Ricky brought you here to live from South Carolina), and I’m sure I did you too. We gave each other lots of love, and we also had some great conversations, didn’t we?!

You brought me so much joy in the 8 years I had you. I will forever remember, love, and miss you. Unfortunately, as always, I’ve lost your pictures too, on old or lost phones.

I hope you’re resting in peace, my dear baby.
