My little cat left us, she was all alone
Today I lost my cat. She was everything keeping us together.
We found her completely unconscious on the floor this morning. Because we usually keep her in the back kitchen at every night, she died all alone.
She was completely fine the same morning, finding spots to sleep, asking our attention. We gave her some snack from those cat food tins after we came home from work.
I was in exam period, even now. And my parents are always busy with work. We always gave her as much love and attention as we could.
Things changed around afternoon, she was breathing differently, like she has a cold. I didn’t think much of it, I petted her and she reacted as she would.
By bedtime, she rushed to my room. This time her breathing worsened. I could feel her stomach or lungs ‘growling’ when I pick her up.
She waited at my door. She was asking for me. She wanted me to know she wasn’t alright, and needed companion. She trusted me.
But I failed.
She died the next morning. I was the last person she ever saw, and received the last head pat from me, reacting the same way she always did.
But I can no longer do so anymore.
I’m terribly sorry, Oreo.
We will always love you, and I miss you.
You always scuttled towards me when mom and dad scolded you.
When you relaxed every time I caressed your back,
when you slept with me on the sofa every quiet morning,
when you watched us go through our lives.
Fly high, you will always be my best cat.
Thank you for everything, Oreo.
