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

This was completely beautiful.

So, this hit some buttons, and I'm all teary now. Dammit.

(Green Eyes has been gone since 2004. I miss him.)

Thank you.

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.

*HUGS tightly*

I'm so, so sorry, love. There's nothing quite like a little bundle of fur that can stretch itself to cover the whole couch, and purr like there's nothing wrong in the world...

*hugs some more*

A couple nights before, she curled up in the space between my shoulder and head, and we both went to sleep.

A few weeks ago, I complained about her sleeping on my neck, stretched out to purr in my ear.

I really want her back.
