Peter: This thoughtful cat lived 19 years. After his owner died, we found him living in a forest. After we trapped him, he lived comfortably in a private residence for two years. Although Peter was content, we know he missed his previous owner very much. This cat was featured in one of our newsletters. Read it!

Eulogy for Peter

Life is Light

To the Light, which is Life,
To the Air, which is the Breath,
To the Rain, which is the Blood,
I give my substance back.

And to the Earth, the Body, the Flesh,
My Life Returns . . .

Eulogy for Seagull

My little friend, Seagull, has “wings” now.
 
He was out late at night, and was struck down by a car.
I carried his body home in my arms, and lay him down in my parlour.
He had a bump on his head, and his expression was very peaceful.
 
The other cats were in the room and sat very still.
Abercrombie, tried to wake him up.
They always played together…
 
I buried Seagull in the backyard, where he liked to run and hide in the long grass.
 
I will miss my little friend — he was a good companion.

A friendly greeting when I came home.
Following me around, jumping on my feet,
Chirping at me like a bird,
Sleeping on my lap while I’m at the computer,
Purring on my chest at night, helping me to sleep....
 
The house is emptier now, and my heart feels very heavy. 
 
I hope my good thoughts travel to him — wherever he is.

“Be strong and of good courage, Seagull.”
