Another baby gone
I found a note on my door this morning telling me that my 9-month-old kitten Gomez was lying dead on the grass by the road. When I got to him, he wasn't too pretty-looking. Probably a car, and hopefully instantly.
Gomez was my biggest comfort in life. I don't have all that much, and now I've lost him, and it hurts more than anything. Now who will sleep on my bed, and pat my face with a paw, and nuzzle me with tickly whiskers? Who's going to sit on my chest and purr like thunder?
Here he is, cleaning his bottom, which is the view Poe and I most often saw of him.
About this time two years ago my other black male Spooky died unexpectedly, we suspect of poison. It feels like I'm going through it all again, for both of them.
