~Beautiful Angel~

Sadly, this past Saturday night, I got a message on facebook that I had been dreading. A neighbor had found Chloe, but she was deceased. She wasn't far away at all. In fact, she was just on the other side of the fence. I'll always miss her, but I know she's in a better place. She was a sweetheart and I miss her talking to me (she meowed all the time) and I miss those pretty blue eyes. She was very special and a joy to have, even if just for a few years. I'm working on making her a cross to put on her grave. Before I found out she had passed away, I got a kitten. I had been thinking about getting a kitten even before Chloe went missing. I had a cat named Ralph when I was younger and he was my favorite cat and the kitten I got looks just like him, except this one has a tail. I named him R.J. (for Ralph Junior), which might change if I find something I like better soon. He is ornery and sweet and takes a little bit of the pain away from losing Chloe. I'm not replacing her, though. She will never be replaced, just like Ralph will never be replaced. I sound like a crazy cat lady, which maybe I am. But I just love my animals with all of my heart. I know Chloe had a long and happy life.
