RIP- Malachi
Well, yesterday the greatest cat to ever live died...my big baby, my heart. I wasn't ready for that one. Not that you're ever ready, but he was a healthy one year old cat...there was nothing wrong with him!...Me, Catherine, and Jesse were at that ultimate party store shopping for halloween decor when Jesse got the call...Hitch and Terry had come by to see if we were home and noticed Malachi in the other yard (this is very uncharacteristic of him since he's deathly afraid of that yard b/c of the huge pit bull and the six little kids). They said they started calling him but he didn't move and that's when they knew he was dead. I dreaded that ride home...I wanted it all to be a mistake...maybe it wasn't Malachi...maybe he WAS just sleeping. I walked up to the house and I saw him lying in the other yard and once I got to a certain point to where usually I knew he would have popped his head up or something and I just fell to my knees right there...my legs just gave out on me and I started this hysterical crying episode that didn't end for awhile. Jesse hopped the fence and picked him up...he was stiff, lifeless....I couldn't bear it. Jesse check for blood, missing fur, broken bones...nothing! He was lying next to this bat shaped tree limb that Jesse also checked for blood and hair. I've been telling myself he got into some poison or ate a diseased rat or something...or had heartworms or something...what I've been thinking it was was those fucking kids next door. Terry and Hitch said they were all outside when they found Malachi and they were all asking if that was our cat...they knew it was my cat from the collar and the missing tail...they fucking knew. I don't just suspect the kids for no good reason....Crackho, the skinny ass cat whose kittens are over here, has been staying over here for the past couple of months b/c the kids who she belongs to starved her and tortured her every chance they got...I saw them do it several times. From rubbing her in dirt so they could spray her down with the water hose to throwing her around trying to get their pit to chew her up...it made me sick...how could anyone be so cruel to animals I'll never understand.
I'm to the point where I won't cry every time Malachi's face appears in my head or everytime I think I see him out the corner of my eye...it still saddens me tremendously. I've had pets come and go but Malachi had a special place in my heart...that was the coolest, sweetest, bestest cat ever...I'll never be able to find another kitty like him...he was definitely one in a million. Even people who swore that they hated cats loved Malachi. I'm just waiting on the "where's Malachi"'s from the people who come over here and knew him...hopefully I can hold back the tears...I miss him so much...it's gonna take awhile to get over this one...
