In Loving Memory of Onyx
Yesterday, was the start of Chaz's and my vacation. My brother accepted to stay at our apartment and watch our kitties for us. Tia, Shadow and Onyx.
My brother woke up this morning and found Onyx dead on our linai. He doesn't know exactly what happened. He said that Onyx didn't want to come inside last night...which is very typical for Onyx. Chaz or I have to practically drag him in every night. Definitely our boy. Anyway, my brother said he checked on him every couple of hours and that Onyx was fine at 4 AM. When he awoke he saw Onyx laying outside on the screened in linai. There was fur everywhere and it looked like Onyx's leg was torn up. He then found that he was dead. After some investigation he noticed a a hole in the screen. He doesn't know if Onyx clawed his way out of if another animal did it. He know's it definitely wasn't a person. I know Onyx... he's so curious and if he ran into another animal..he wanted to play. He apparently ran into the wrong animal and paid for it. My brother buried him.
I am currently up in New Hampshire...we got here late afternoon and my kitty died not even 12 hours later. I love Onyx..he was the best kitty. He was the most vocal cat I've ever known. He loved to play and cuddle..he just kept me smiling..even on my worst days. I've never known any other cat like him. I've been in tears all day and have this empty feeling inside. Today is Sunday and Chaz and I will be up here until next Sunday. Will I make it? I came up here to get away and relax. How am I going to relax now? I feel like I'm cursed or being tested everytime something good happens..it's followed by a lot of evil and bad things. I know I'm in the greiving process. To be honest, I've never lost an animal such as a cat or dog. The only animals I had growing up were hamsters..it's not the same. I don't have any children so the pets we have..I consider to be my children.

Dear Onyx,
I will remember you in spirit. Thank you for warming my heart just being you. Thank you for cuddling with me and comforting me. I will miss picking you up and feeling you lay against me..so cute. Thank you for interrupting my studying to give me a break to play or coming to visit me while typing a paper. The computer room was always our special place. You would come in, jump on my lap and let me pet you..purring away. It was so comforting and safe. I will miss your daily talking spurts, petting you after you've snuck a drink from the faucet ...and your drenched. lol.. sniff, sniff. Thank you for blessing us with your prescense. Even though your time with us was limited (wasn't long enough), you will always be in my heart and thoughts. I love you and always will. ~~Mama.
