Navi,
I never imagined when I first brought you home that I would one day so soon be mourning the loss of your sassy little self. I still remember the first night I had you as if it were yesterday.You were only six weeks old and sad because you didn't have your litter mates anymore; you slept directly on my face the entire night but I couldn't even be upset because I was already so in love with you. You were my best friend and my soulmate. I feel so blessed to have been able to be your cat mom even if it was for such a short while. I don't even think forever would have been enough time with you. I've never met another kitty so full of sass in my life and I blame a lot of that on how much I spoiled you haha. I miss your slowblinks a bunch right now. You were such a precious gem in my life and I don't think there will ever be a day that goes by that I don't miss you. Life isn't as excited since I can't come home to you running for me and making me hold you. I can't even turn a corner without almost hiding because you always loved playing hide and seek with me even if you were a cheater. I don't know if I will ever love another animal as much as I loved you. We were definitely partners in crime. I finally was able to get your tattoo! I never intended for it to be a memorial but regardless, you are now memorialized in a piece of art that captures your beautiful little fluffy face perfectly. It hurt and it took four hours, but it was worth it. Nothing hurts as much as missing you anyway. I love you princess cat. I hope you're waiting for me in heaven. I can't wait to see you again and when I do I don't think I'll ever put you down. I hope heaven doesn't close their doors because I know how much you hate that haha. Behave yourself. Tink misses you. You'll always be my favorite.

Nellie, 03/15/2003 - 01/12/2016

My sweet Nellie - my heart is broken into a million pieces with you gone. You were the only family I had and, without you, I don't know how to go on. You were my heart, filling my life with love and joy, comfort and companionship. I miss starting each day, sharing breakfast with you. I miss our long walks, the games we played together, cuddling on the couch. I miss your sweet kisses, your bright little eyes, your velvety ears. Every moment of the day is filled with thoughts of you. You were with me during the hardest times of my life, providing unconditional love and support. Your wiggly little body in my arms was the greatest feeling in the world. My sweet baby girl - I will miss you forever. Remember what mommy told every night at bed time - "I love you to the moon and back, and back again." Be at peace, my Nellie Belle, and I hope to see you again.
All my love,
Mommy

Nellie Belle, 10/2001 - 8/14/2016

How do I begin to tell you how much I’ll miss you, Nellie Belle? Nearly 15 years. So long, but went by so fast.

Our bond was known to only you and me. Made me feel so special. You were so shy and skittish to the rest of the world. You moved like the wind. So silent to the rest of the world, but oh the hour-long conversations you and I had in private! You were my “Chatty Cathy” as one old friend had suggested.

All the names I had for you, I suppose I’ll never say again -- Nellie, Nellie Belle, Baby Girl, Miss Piggy, Lumpy Girl, Missy Miss. I used to tease you sometimes and call you Victoria since that was your original name (on your adoption papers) when rescued as a wee kitten from the feral nest. But I always thought this name sounded too formal and aloof for you. Nellie Belle – that was you. But your ears would perk up at the sound of Victoria – I don’t think you ever forgot your early days and the kindness of your first human rescuers.

I think one of my long-lasting memories will be the way you would stare into my eyes for minutes at a time—crawling up on my chest in bed and nearly placing your nose to mine. I’ve never quite seen this intensity of focus in my other cats. I always wondered what was going on behind those big, green pools of your eyes. I’ll never know. But I’ll always feel that those moments were sacred. You did this one last time a couple of days before you died. Maybe this was “Goodbye, Mama/Old friend.”

I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to you that final night, although I think you probably were ready to go. Your “buddy” Louie knows things are off kilter, although I’m not sure he knows why. Either way, he’s been leaving a single treat on the floor after I give him a few. I can’t help wonder it that’s meant for you, Nellie Belle. I’ll never forget you, and look forward to seeing you someday on the other side.

Newbe, 08/20/00 - 06/08/16

I wasn't sure I wanted a pet but Newbe found a way to win me over. In the summer of 2000, a friend mentioned her families cat had kittens. Would I be interested in seeing them? Who doesn't love kittens? I went to their farm where a litter of kittens were all crawling over each other. As I sat down to play with them, the family dog rounded the corner and the kittens all scattered in a flurry! Except the little calico kitten who stood her ground and hissed at the dog. I decided right then and there she was going home with me.

Like most calicos, Newbe was spirited and independent and super smart. To others, she was very guarded and didn't warm up to people. But to me, she was sweet and gentle and very loving. As I see it, I was her one and only. She was a big girl, with thick lush fur, and a beautiful face. She greeted me every morning at her water bowl, met me at the back door every night, let me scoop her up in my arms without any hesitation, and purred loudly whenever I nuzzled her neck. She brought me comfort and peace when it was most needed. She had to have an ice cube in her water. Would only eat dry cat food. Loved cold milk from the bottom of my cereal bowl. And watched over me constantly.

I had 16 sweet years with her. I miss her very much, but I'm grateful for every day we had together. It will be hard to fill the void she has left in my world, but I take comfort in knowing I gave her a good life, that she brought me great happiness, and that I know somewhere down the road, I will again scoop up that sweet bundle of fur in my arms and hold her close. I miss that most.

Thank you for being my kitty.
