Isabel

there's a heaven
with lizards and catnip
with grass for stalking and feathers to bat around

there's paths there, endless and new,
always something to do.

there's a heaven
and I'll see you there one day
and I'll cuddle you and you'll purr
and rub your petite face against my neck

you were so small
I felt so strong holding you
you were so small
so fragile so breakable and young
curious and always looking, exploring

there's a heaven
with lizards and catnip
with things to chase and things to hunt

you purr there
on your throne
with your territory and your toys 
I miss you

late 2006--early 2008

Midnight vanished in late February last year, so the last day of the year, once we were sure he wasn't coming back, we went to the pound. I picked out a petite tortishell queen, because I couldn't handle another tuxedo tom. I wanted to name her Isabeau, but tigris_lilsis misheard it as "Isabel". She and tigremere overruled me.

She was my cat, most of all, just like Midnight had been. *sigh* I want them both back.
