Annelid's blog: "Ramblings,thoughts and assorted stuff"

A few words about my cat who passed on today. Clyde was probably the most personable kitty around. He'd know when I was down and he'd make sure that I'd have a friend to pet,to curl up with, someone to talk too. Of course he didn't speak but his tail and those loveable little eyes spoke to me. My gf said it best "they are your babies". And she's right. I love them with all my heart. I lost a goldfish this week as well (thing 1). He was a "feeder" goldfish but when I saw him we knew that he had to come home with us. It's funny, at times I feel that I love animals more than people. People will kill you for your ipod, your car, your cash. Animals will attack if scared,or sick or protecting their young. Anyways about Clyde. He was my sisters cat. She had ever since he was a little bitty orange fuzz ball. She moved from Boston to out of the country and said "you need to love him and take care of him". I'd like to think I did a good job about it. He was around for the good and the bad, the ups and the downs, oh so many downs. At night, he'd lay on me and we'd both go to sleep.I his security blanket and he my, confidant. He'd be my little shadow around the apartment. I'd turn around and there would be his little freckled nose looking up at me. He's run to the door when I'd get home and be the 1st one running into the bedroom when I'd yell "C'mon babies, time for bed". Sigh. Everytime I think about him I cry. And I will for a long time. He was a good pet. No, he was a loving little son of mine who I'll miss dearly. Someone wrote me online and said " he's crossed the rainbow bridge and will rejoin you when your time comes". If there's a heaven, Clyde's in it, curled up and purring softly looking down at us.
