Rascal,you were my rescued kitty, and I guess your age at 4 to 5 yrs. (2008 to August 6, 2013, when you were murdered by some cruel person by being strangled to death cruelly with a leash tied tight in a knot around your neck and them tied up on my neighbors hose reel,at the front of his house at 48 Oberon. You did not deserve this kind of cruel death. Rascal,everybody that met you were very fond of you,and I loved you as my special companion in this last part of my life.

Rascal, you were a very Special Kitty to me ,and I grieve because I lost you , maybe through my own complacency to let you out at night unattended . Please forgive me for that because I knew you enjoyed your freedom to be outside.

You came to me in November 2011 looking for some food and a home, and I took you in. You were a very behaved and loving cat to me. In the morning, you would come inside from my back yard ready for some breakfast, and then a catnap on my couch with me. Afterwards,we would go out in the back yard picnic table to feed the birds and contemplate life in the sunshine.

Rascal, I know you valued your freedom, and I tried not to impose on your freedom with your own cat door, but I never suspected that the evil that took you from me, exists on my street. The police and the Humane society were called when I found you,and carried your lifeless body to the local vets, crying my eyes out. Even now, tears flow as I write you eulogy.

Rascal, you had a very short life with me, and I don't know anything about your previous lives, but the 21 months that we were together, were the best 21 months at this latter part of my life with my health problems. I never expected you would be taken from me so soon.. your sweet little chirp when you wanted a treat and the way you sleep on my comforter, so relaxed with not a care in the world when you were with me.

I would rub your tummy and you would stretch out and go into a deep sleep. You would wake up and lick my face In a loving gesture, and have a quick snack.
We were so happy together.... and then some evil person brought tragedy to both our lives.

My home is just not the same anymore without you Rascal, and I miss you so much, my little furry boy. I have made a wooden container for your ashes, which I will put on my fireplace mantle so you can still be with me as long as I live and breathe. God bless you, Rascal, because I know you are in a happier place waiting for me at the Rainbow Bridge.
I'm coming someday there to meet you again, and we can be together for eternity.

Daniel
