Rest in peace Pookie the family cat. 13 years of being a part of our family of your 18 years on this Earth, we never thought we'd have such a good natured and well mannered cat.

Around 2007 my family and I took in this orange tabby cat when his original family couldn't/didn't want to take him while they moved to another state. He used to be a indoor and outdoor cat but we soon realized he had allergies connected to the outside so we kept him indoors save for short trips outside. It didn't take long for other health issues to show up, to the point approximately a year after we took him in his original family suggested to just put him down rather than pay for a expensive operation. We declined that advice, and somehow payed for his operation. He was much more my mom (I believe its because she reminded him of his old "mom") and dad (he's a stay at home dad thus Pookie saw him the most) cat over anyone else in the house. Pookie got to see both of my younger sisters and my own High school graduation, my two nephews who were born later absolutely loved him, I wish my ex-stepson would of had a chance to meet him in person. My family knew that his time was running out, what with diabetes, increased allergies/inability to eat certain cat foods, among other health issues, yet the pain now matter how expected it is still hurts all the same.

Rest now old friend. You'll be missed and loved through the years to come, and our memories of you will always be cherished.
