My Harry – Goodbye…

/ Kait King

I know you’re

With Mum, now

But I miss you

All the same

I miss your constant

meow

And calling out

Your name

I miss you, My Harry

Things are just

Not the same

You’re not lieing

upside down

On the driveway

Or being a

Major pain

I don’t fall over you,

Anymore

And the fridge hasn’t

Been scratched

In a week

I miss stroking

your old body

That once was young

And sleek

I miss your sweet face,

My Harry –

Your cookie-making paws

Your teapot curled

fluffy tail

And everything and more…

In memory of one of the coolest cats I’ve had the pleasure of sharing a fraction of my lifetime with, but all of his. I wasn’t ready to let him go. I have a massive empty space I don’t know how to fill right now.

  1. very sorry to hear about your loss. I’ve lost a beloved cat almost 2 years ago and I still miss her, the sadness of the loss has dimmed though so I can say it does get easier with time but you never forget them. When you’re ready, please do get another one, too many cats out there just waiting to be loved by someone like you.

    • Thank you for such kind words. Yes, it’s the loss every time that gets me. I rescue many and have to remind myself that I will probably outlive them and will have to face the grief. They are family to me, I love and give them everything I’ve got. I’ve lost a friend, a confidant, a jester, a comforter…..so many things in that big ball of fluff! Maybe one day….😊🙏❤️
