You are loved, oh so loved
Our little lump of fur
Who would have known that your passing
Will be such an unexpected blur
You made me think not all cats are assholes
That not all cats are snobbishly brute
When you gaze up at me first time with your amber eyeballs
Then suddenly you were beyond cute
You are loved, Oh so loved
Our bundle of nightly sunshine
You greet us with eager purrs and meows
It was always this when we arrive
You know I was very afraid of your claws
So each time you jump on me, you retract your claws
You greet me and Bubba each and every night
And we get thrilled by just your sight
I’ve never known a cat as immature
A cat as domesticatedly loving as you are
You scurry towards our approaching figures
A tempestuous feline approaching from afar
You know when we can pet you
And you stood by when we cant
When we sit by that stony bench
And our outstretched palms you'd catch
You always wanted our hands on you
And we would always oblige
I would get a little jealous of you
Coz you can easily make Bubba smile
Our two-colored baby jester
One time we thought you were pregnant
But through the months we wondered why you're not getting thinner
It turns out. You were just fat
And one night, the usual night
We came home after some ice cream and pie
You came around. Just as planned
Snuggle up to our feet and chasing our hands
We cuddled you. You jumped to and fro
From Bubba's lap to mine
Then you jump off us and went up about
We never knew that then you’ll lose your life
A motorcycle zoomed out of nowhere
Hitting you center clean
You dashed away and hid by the bushes
It took as long to find you, unseen
And when we did, we can’t reach for you
You hid too deep underneath
We flashed our lights and called you out
You were shivering, immobilized as you faintly replied meow
For minutes, I can’t reach for you
Why can’t cats show up when they get hurt?
As seconds passed your shivers ended
And I felt my heart just burst.
There was no blood, no patch of skin
Oh baby, you were so intact
Bubba said that cats are strong
That we might see you back
My cat, my cat, my kitty cat
I never loved one before
I never liked your kind except you
And now, I can’t pet you no more
Oh baby you are oh so loved
I can’t stop typing through my tears
You were the only cat I’d ever befriended
The only one in all my years
Oh how i wished, I’d pet you more
Made you purr. Drew you closer to my side
At least we made you last moments loved
Untimely as it is, It’s time to say goodbye.
Float gently to Cat Haven, my Mango Float
You always purred to that given name
Our lives you’ve graced with yours with love
And it will never be the same.
