Hi Spooky.

I want to say, Thank you for the 13+ years we had together. You were a silent fella which was the opposite of my previously noisy kitty Johnathan, but you still spoke to me in many ways you could. A nuzzle, a purr, a sniff, a spraying sneeze, a bap, a scratch, a bite, a hiss and rare occasions, half a meow that sounded more like “ah.” At times you were lovely and friendly, other times you are a meanie and a butthead. But I still loved you in many ways a cat dad could. I fought for you a lot. Ensuring you stay as family, through inconveniences that got on my family's nerves, through your broken leg (twice) and hobblin' after, through sickness, and so on. We always win at the end. I am sadden that we could not win against time that was taking a toll on your health. I wanted to continue to fight for you in hope this is just a bump that would come to pass and you would recover again. But you, from what the doctor told me, made the decision for me to give up the fight when they brought you out to see me. That was mean of you, but it seems you knew what's better for the both of us and understood it wasnt worth it anymore especially for your age. Renal Kidney failure is a real a-hole. I just wished you held longer and gave me one more thing before you went. But, having you with me is better than never.

I will miss your jingling bell of your blue collar which now hangs above my bed. I will miss your late night food cronchings in my room. I will miss your “stop that” bites when I bug ya with tickles or pet ya wrong. I will miss your heavy butt when I picked you up to snug and kiss ya. I will miss coming home from work to lay on the bed with my one hand outstretched and you climbing up and then look at me funny before moving to sniff my hand and smidge and nuzzle it to get me to pet and scritch ya. I will miss that part but also me laying on the floor instead of the bed with my hand outstretched for you to do the same. And after that, doing the “that's enough” bites. I will miss you laying on your back one hind paw up keeping your butt and harbles warm at the space heater I turn on every cold season. I will miss that but in rooms with sun shining through the windows. I will miss placing my face on your fat floof. I will miss giving you raspberries on your fatty fat fat belly and the back of your ears. I will miss rubbing, tickling, and scritching it. I will miss ya following me whenever I open the can of wet foods every evening. I will miss ya come and stare at me for every time I have chicken whether home cooked or from places like Popeye's. I will also miss spoiling your butt with that chicken by giving you pieces. Wished I continue doing so had I known you're going to rest. Of course, Nana often did that in secret. I will miss ya loafing on things like my luggage before and after Dragon Con and other trips. I will miss ya climbing up on the couch in my room whenever I watch movies. I also really do miss ya on my desk and lap when you had four legs. I will miss you spending time with Binx and give him groomings and nap near him before Binx becomes a butthead and bites and baps you to stop that. I will miss you make Binx move from your suppose napping spot. I will miss your grumpy stubborness which basically earns you more scruffies and kisses. Because I know in the end, I will miss your loves you still give me in return.

Sleep well, my sweet demon. You deserved it. Binx will be okay and I will continue givng my love for him and to fight for him like I did with you. Your previous owner did not give you love and care, which is a terrible thing that person did. I am happy my Dad has saved you and later my brother brought you in and into my life. Giving you another chance to live and experience love, and sometimes to spoil ya. I may not have done my best as I feel I didnt, but I learn on the way to do even better for you and those after you like Binx and possibly any future feline family member. And I will keep at it!

I will see you soon when my time comes. Say hello to Johnathan for me.

I Love You, my son Spooky. My Spooky Butt, my Spooky Cat.

Love, your Cat Dad.
