I loved....
- the way you relentlessly pawed on the doors when you wanted in or out of a room
- your sweet smell
- the way you would rub up against my legs when you wanted love
- the noise you would make when I loved on you
- your purr that could be heard from a mile away
- the way you would cuddle with me when I cried so hard
- how beautiful you are
- how your name used to be wolly
- the subtle way you warned me when you were about to bite
- your gentle little soft sweet paws...those were my favorite
- your one gray whisker
- the way you could smell tuna from miles away
- the way you would always find the smallest patch of sunshine and position yourself right in the middle of it
- the way you would scratch your back on the driveway by rolling around
- your love of christmas morning or any celebration that involved ribbon and wrapping paper
- the way you greeted me every time the family returned from a long trip
- the way you escaped from the wrath of Carmel
- the way you would twitch and "lick the air" whenever I scratched your back
- the way you attempted to catch birds and mice...but never actually did
- the way you always found your favorite spot...and wouldn't move for days
- the way you would often trip me as I was walking down the hall
- the way you hid under the bed for days when daddy first brought you home
- the way you kneaded whenever you purred
- how you let me hold you like a baby...
- the way you drank milk out of large tall glasses
- the way you brought so much joy into my life
- the way you were my "kitty"...my "Queen of Sheba"
- the way you would so purposefully blink
- the way you always wanted to be around the family...while acting completely unamused
- the way you welcomed Carmel into the family
- the way mommy and I made voices for you....that were O so fitting for your personality
- the way you SO gingerly walked around...especially if your paws touched anything wet
- the way you would stare at me when I meowed at you
- the way you win the award for the sweetest kitty in the world
Penelope, I love you more than you'll ever know. You have such a special place in my heart. Thank you for being the sweetest, most wonderful kitty a girl could have ever asked for...Rest in Peace my lovely girl. I love you.
Love,
Annie
