To our long lost friend.

She was one of a kind, sweet heart, showing love and affection
She use to come up to me when I was at work, I use to be a security officer and this cat kept coming up to me when I was on my lunch break I use to sit out side, just getting ready for my lunch in a box, and I noticed a tabby cat walking around, skinny and shy
At first I use to put a piece of my lunch on the curb, and this cat came from out of the bushes, ever watcher "Dances with Wolf's"
She was kinda like that, after about 2 or 3 weeks of this, she would know where I am taking my lunch break, and sit by the side of the roadway, When she saw me, she let a maw come from here mouth and a tail would be wagging like a happy puppy, she knew it was me and I use to shire my lunch with her, she started to become my friend.

She had no collier, and looked kinda slim like she had not been fed, a month went on and by now we use to meet up around just before lunch
So I decided to take care of my new friend, that appeared to be abandoned, and called my wife, this was around thanks giving eve, and my wife agreed to introduce my new friend to our family, this was back in 2002.

Six years later (Sat 28th June 2008) we had to do the most painful thing ever, and that was to say goodbye to our friend that we loved so much, she was a one of a kind, always into something, even liked the 2 dogs we have, and the other cat, she is/was part of the center of attention, and loved being around us, she loved being on the couch looking out the window, while we was watching TV, sometimes she would hop up on to one of us and do the nudge thing with her head and loved to be touch, stroked and she would always sing her purring song, sadly, today (as per date) she collapsed, and was Gasping for air, we took her to the vet, who gave the advice to take her to the Emergency vet clinic, she was put on O2 and she could breathe a bit easier, the vet Dr. asked to take an X-ray and later we learned that her lungs was filled with Cancer matter and spreading to her esophagus, this did not look to good at all, and while she was under the vet care she collapsed again and fell on to her side, there was nothing we could do, the advide the vet Dr was prity slim and was to let her go in peace and end the pain and suffering that she may have.

Now we feel empty and we feel that we lost a close friend, and its sad very sad, I really hope that oneday soon, someone will find a cure for cancer and let it be available to every man, woman, child, and pet, I just wish there was something we could have done, she was a very pretty Egyptian tabby cat with strike of grey, black tan and gold With big green eyes and large paws her tail reminded me of a rattle snake when she use to twitch it.

We will always love you and you will be missed by all that knew you
RIP
