Thinking of You...

Dear Twilight,

The house is much more calm without you. There's no one running like a screaming banshee through the blinds, no one messing up the girls Polly Pockets while they play on the floor. No one has been scratched all morning.

It is kind of nice...

But we miss you and we're thinking of you.

I know you don't understand why you had to go in the travel bag and in the car to that guy who gave you shots a few weeks ago. We tried to calm you down on the ride over, but as far as I can tell, you don't really understand English.

You were very sweet and quiet as we signed the papers for your surgery.

Don't worry I opted for the extra pain killer after so you won't be in as much pain.

We hope you will forgive us for making you have a rough day today,
We said a prayer for you to not feel too much pain.

As we left the vet's office, Angela asked, "why we gave our kitty to them" and when we got home, Natalie got into position to "catch the cat" as the girls often do when we come in from the garage door, since you always like to escape and explore. (I think it is funny the girls all fight for this job and they have to take turns. As soon as we get home the question always hanging in the air is, "Who's turn to catch the cat?")

Even though this is not fun, we just don't think it's a good idea to let you procreate. (o:

No offense, we think your potential kitties would have been adorable, but in the last few months we've learned how much work a little trouble maker like you is and one of you is all we can handle!

We promise to take extra good care of you when you get home this afternoon and we'll keep Angela at a distance, although it will be very hard for her to not pick you up and give you a squeeze.
It will be nice to have you back, messes, trouble and all - the house isn't the same without you.

Natalie found this tattoo at the vet's office and put it on herself (on her face!) before I knew what she was doing. I guess it's her little tribute to her kitty. I'm sure she'll get some comments at school today. Natalie and Sarah were very sad and worried for Twilight today, it was very sweet.
