Emily

We had a cat called Emily

Dear sweet Ems for short

She was white as the driven

snowflakes that descend from

heaven above at wintertime.

She was a true dear sweetheart

She was my little soulmate

my friend my comforter.

My little love.

Her pink little pads on her

dainty feet and her cute

bonny face. And her gorgeous

green-yellow big eyes.

That shone like light beams

in your direction. When she

wants a cuddle or a feeding.

She used to snore out loud

at times. When she slept.

And loved to play and have

belly tickles and fun.

Oh, dear Ems.  How much we

miss thee still. But we will

always remember you

with such fondness

and comforting love.

My dear forever friend.

Sadly gone but never

forgotten.

We grow so very attached to our pets, don't we? Each one of them has its own characteristics, their quaint little ways, their own little routine, and when they aren't there anymore, it leaves a huge hole. Your little poem, a poignant reminder of how much we miss them when they are no longer with us.

So very true.

Our animal companions become part of our life. When they are gone, you feel an empty spot.

[Onlyme]

That is so true, Jon.

We do love our animals. I liked this poem. I had many cats for my daughter. Now the leftover cat became my cat. My companion and favorite fan of my writing. Thank you Dee for sharing the amazing poetry.

I lost my tabby two years ago that I had for almost nineteen years. It broke my heart to have to put him to sleep, but I insisted on holding him as he was injected. It truly is the most kindest thing we can do for them. They are so much more than just our pets, aren't they? Take care and hold tight to the memories. You will meet again!

Oue Ems was 21 years of age. I feel for you Kelly and your Tabby. Always within your heart. And exactly hold tight to your fond
memories.

Twenty-one years is an awfully long life for a cat. My vet said she rarely sees them come in as old as my "Elliott" was...she said he must of had a great life and lots of love...i smiled through tears and simply shook my head. How I wish their lives were longer. Many blessings to you, Dee!

I truly agree with you on that. Emily was a housecat. She was content and happy. And never wanted to go out. So never forced or pushed her too. She did as she pleased. In the house. Her domain. Her castle.
