I didn't know you for long, but I loved you. You were family. I've never felt as distraught over losing a pet so much till it happened to you. I guess it's because those before you lived to a very old age and passed away in their sleep. Peaceful...
You were young, not even two years of age. An adventurer in your prime. You lived life to the fullest, not even concerned with your heart murmur. You just kept going. I will fondly remember those times I glanced out the window on the stairs to see you spelunking in the neighbors garden, patrolling your territory. Or the way you rubbed yourself around my legs when you came in. I'll miss the way you meowed. That loud demanding meow that was hard to ignore but adorable at the same time.
The day I found out about your death I cried long and hard. My heart tried to fool me that night when I opened the door to call in your sister, Magic. I heard the jingling of that bell on her collar, the one that was just like yours... My heart was hoping that maybe it wasn't true and that you would be the one to come running through that door even though my brain knew all too well.
And Magic... oh poor Magic. My heart has broken for her. For days now she has searched, sniffed and meowed looking for you. Her look of confusion at only the single basket where there was once two... I sit with her now before I go to sleep. Stroke her... brush her... The first time I tried to brush her since you've been gone she could still smell your fur still in the brush. I wish I could have preserved something for her then maybe she wouldn't be so alone.
I am depressed that you are gone, and I am angry but not angry so much at the person who took you away, they tried to help you, they tried to save you. I will not hold a grudge for that. I am angry at life, and that something decided that your life was to end before your time.
I'll miss you my friend. My Black Pepper. Been working on and off on this for the last few days. I wanted to commemorate an image to my late cat Pepper. I needed to do it.. acceptance as you will. Tried to completely digital paint this... not that good though...
Ended up listening to Art Garfunkel's Bright Eyes over and over whilst working on this. The song originally being about the singer's grandfather but is most famously known as the song from the animated adaption of Watership Down. This samesong helped me through my rabbits deaths, and now it will help me through Pepper's too.
