Once upon a time, I had a cat. His name was Zorro. He was my soul mate. Today, February 1st, is the 5-year anniversary of his death. Sometimes I think I killed him. Sometimes I think he was taken from me. Whichever it is, though, he's gone.
I don't really feel the need to defend myself or why I'm still so broken up about it. Or why I had a cat for a soul mate. Some things... you just can't explain. You either get it or you don't.
Miss you, Zorro!
ReplyDeleteAnd love you, E! You have so much love for so many people and creatures. It's a beautiful thing about you.
OH MY GOD E! I just realized we had the EXACT same bedroom set growing up! I still have most of mine. The canopy bed, the dresser, the bookshelf topper, the desk, the chair. I had a moment thinking that you accidentally put up a picture of Taika on that chair, because it's her favorite. Wow. I just got a chill. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteI get your love for Zorro. I feel very similarly, though not quite to the same extent that you do, towards Snoop. Some cats just have a way of seeing into your soul. Of always giving you exactly what you need and never asking for anything in return.
ReplyDeleteYou did the same for Zorro. You really did always give him what he needed, even in the end. You were his guardian and soul mate as much as he was yours.
And I'm so sorry he was taken from you too soon.
Amen, Christy.
ReplyDeleteZorro looked like such a sweet kitty. And no, you don't need to defend yourself to anyone. Animals can be your best friends, your partners, your soul mates. They can understand us better than anyone. I get it. Such a sweet video. Made me cry :( Sorry for your loss my sweet E.
