When I was as small as I can remember, we had a cat named Jake. An orange tabby. He got in a lot of fights. I remember him with a messed up ear and snuggling with me. We were best friends. I can’t ever not think of Jake when I see an orange tabby. Jake got hit by a car in 1979.

It always sucks but at least you shared that time together.

I tell the story of an incredible acrobatic fly catch by one of my kitties as though it happened that day. Still extremely proud of her. What a good hunter.

One that we tell wasn’t acrobatic but just hilarious to us. Cat was chasing after a fly, then it disappeared and we were worried he had eaten it. We kept calling to him and he wouldn’t move. Then we picked him up and realized he’d had it trapped under his dainty little paw.

Edited to add pic of our fly-hunter:

That is so true and beautiful. I think about my pets of the past and I think about how awesome they were and the good times I had with them. Even the ones I had as a kid.
