I wrote a story about my Boo Boy back in 2006 but can't find it today. I lost my beloved Boo too soon and even after all this time, I have this empty spot in my heart that belongs to him. His name was Boots, but we called him Boo or Boo Boy and he brought so much joy and love to our home. When he died my husband was out of town and I couldn't find the courage or heart to bury him. We decided to have him cremated so he'd be with us wherever we went. I was and still am lost without my baby! I miss him so much and talk to him whenever possible. We have since adopted 3 more babies: Jack, a Lhaso Apso, was named Sir Jackson 'Boots' Taylor; we then adopted Tigr, another yellow tabby and just recently brought home Chigger, a munchkin cat. They do fill out home with joy and happiness but that hole in my heart belongs to Boots and him only. I still cry when I look at his picture or see something that reminds me of Boo. We loved that cat so much! We called him our 'million dollar' cat because we spent so much to keep him healthy and happy. I can say it was a million well spent! He left us much too soon and not a day goes by that he isn't on my mind and that empty spot in my heart aches to hold him again. I know anyone who loses their babies feels the same if that love was pure. I'll take good loving care of Jack, Tigr and Chigger but that one special part of my heart belongs to you Boo Boy! I love and miss you so much and can't wait till we can romp and play with each other again. Don't ever think that I don't miss you because I cry at just the mention of your name. You were a very special baby to us and we'll love you always - Mommy and Daddy
