A little piece of me died the other day.
One of our most loving and amazing pets died suddenly. It hit us like a freight train of uncontrollable emotion. I’ve never felt so sad in my life for the loss of a pet. My heart aches as I type this.
Sunny was the best cat in the world. We loved every second of her life with us. We adopted her (and her brother) as a kitten and she grew up with our two kids, Reed & Kaitlin. She made my wife Jen into a cat lover. Sunny was especially fond of the sun, hence her name. She could always be found in the narrow window of sunlight. She was the funny and curious cat who loved to eat the leaves off my bonsai trees, pick on our rugs and table legs, and sneak into the kids rooms at night to wake them up. She always made sure that we kept our feeding schedule. She loved to drink water from my cup and I never cared. I always left one for her in our bedroom. She was a great pet. The best cat anyone could ever ask for.
Since I grew up with pets, especially cats, I was particularly fond of her. She was always close by and knew when it was time to relax on the couch or bed. She was a lap cat, and that’s what I really loved about her. We had a tight bond that I loved. I feel like no other cat can replace her.
Rest in Peace, Sunny. We will always love you!
