+ Miss Twinkle;
This is my tribute page to my cat, Miss Twinkle, who passed away in the late morning of October 5, 2004.
Miss Twinkle was a beautiful tabby I found in the late night in April of 2003. She was a stray. I felt sorry for her because it was a chilly night. I brought her in, and fed her.
The next day, I began a half hearted search for her owners. I went to some neighbors, and placed a sign in my place of employment. No one claimed her, so I kept her.
For the next year, all was well, even though her relationship with my other cat, Miss MewMew was contemptuous. Well, Miss Twinkle had no problems with Miss MewMew. Miss MewMew is just evil incarnate sometimes.
Miss MewMew's hate for Miss Twinkle became rather brutal, so even though I loved her dearly, I sent Miss Twinkle to my sister. She seemed happy there for awhile, but then they got dogs and Miss Twinkle didn't like them. I got her back in early September of 2004.
+ the last hours;
I didn't think anything was wrong with Miss Twinkle. To be honest, she seemed content just to lay beside me in bed. She had always enjoyed being under the blankets, so I was not suprised that she snuggled up close to me Tuesday morning.
I had just gotten back from taking my niece, Jackie to school. My normal routine is to then crawl back into bed. Miss Twinkle came and layed beside me under the covers, and then Miss MewMew layed beside us. I thought it was nice that Miss MewMew was coming around. I now know she knew something was wrong. We all then went to sleep.
I woke up at noon, and both cats were still beside me. I sat up and Miss MewMew woke instantly. I then attempted to wake Miss Twinkle with no avail. I knew she was gone. I began crying and begging her to wake up. I know it was useless, but grief is rarely logical.
I screwed up my courage, said my goodbyes and took her to her final resting place. It's a lovely place near a river. It's one of my favorite places to go, so I will always be by her.

+ poem for twinkle;
I began missing you,
My Miss Twinkle,
At the very moment
I found you had gone.
All your little quirks
the things that made you
a very special kitty
to myself and many others
Your need to lay by my knees
making me twist so I lost sleep
Laying by my feet
As I sat at the computer
You quiet little mews
as you waited for your meal
Your rubs against the ankles
of those that entered your home
I don't think it will come
as a complete suprise
that many others miss you
Miss MewMew misses you too.
