My dearest and oldest cat passed away this morning around 8.30.
It was so sudden and unexpected. My husband and I burried him in our backyard. I am extremely sad right now. I took a half-day off from work today to mourn. My cat Maxie was the sweetest cat. He was scared of almost everything. He meaowed a lot. He liked to pee on everything. He used to like to wake me up in the morning. I adopted Maxie about 6 years ago from an animal shelter in Knoxville, Tennessee. He was a shy boy. At that time, he was about 2 years old. The previous owner gave him up to the animal shelter. Maxie loved the sound of working microwave. He loved people. He loved my dogs. He loved most cats. He got into a fight with our cat Bob, who passed away last year, when we introduced Bob to Maxie the first time but after that he was fine with him. Maxie loved to lounge around the house. He loved to eat. He loved to pee on plastic bags on the ground. We don’t know why. We took him to the vet only to find he was fine.
Even though he is gone, Maxie will always be with us. He will always be remembered. I love Maxie with all my heart. He was my first pet in this country. I remember how happy I was when I decided to adopt him. I told the animal shelter I wanted him and they had to neuter him first so I had to come back several days later to pick him up. When I got home that day, I made a sign that said: Welcome Home Maxie.
Maxie was so shy the first day he arrived he hid under my bed all day. Finally he got hungry and he ate the foods I prepared for him. The next morning, he stood next to my pillow. He woke me up with his meaowing. He meaowed and meaowed and meaowed. He just sat there on the pillow next to my pillow. He loved feeding time. He loved to sleep on my bed. He was the sweetest cat. No other cats would be like him.
It’s always hard to say forever goodbye to our pets. Today was no exception. I was devastated; so was my husband. Life will not be the same without Maxie. I will always love him. I will always keep memories of him in my heart.
We love you Maxie. Thank you for the wonderful years you let us spent with you. We’ll see you again someday. Now you are free. You can run around in the Heaven’s everlasting green as much as you like!!! You can play with Yoda and Bob, Maxie. Please don’t pee on everything in Heaven, Maxie. We love you so much and cannot wait to see you again!!!
