I'm Olivia the Cat. I suppose you've heard a lot about me in the past week since I lost my Mother, Evelyn. Well now I'm in a lovely accommodation with a very kind woman who volunteered to take me in when my Mom had to leave. Let's just get that very important fact out of the way that after all, MY well being was of the utmost importance to my Mom. But enough about me...we'll except to say that I really do miss her. I really do. And that's saying something because I usually really do not care for humans. But I cared for her. You could say she was my dearest friend. She kept me company and we'd eat together...she with her not-at-all-tempting human food and I with my favorite kibble.. I'll miss seeing her hands..old now as was she, pour that into my bowl. I loved that time we spent eating together... but I never really let her know how much that meant to me. She bought me toys that I was kind enough to act like I enjoyed... just to see her smile. She had a really pretty smile...for a human. She even gave me treats when she'd have hers... On the night before the morning she left, I could sense she wasn't feeling well... She moaned when she moved and I tried to lay very softly next to her as she liked. I put my paw on her pillow..After all, it was the least I could do for her now. Then she wasn't purring, or as you humans say, breathing very much. Strange, but I thought I saw someone take her hand & lift her like she weighed no more than a feather. I called to her in the way I know she couldn't refuse.. but she just turned around and softly blew me a kiss..winked at me and was gone. Yes, I am going to miss this human, my mother. And although they've given me another older lady to take care of, she'll never love me as much, or I her, for it was always my Mother and me. Mother, I promise I will love you for the rest of my life as you loved me for the rest of yours. Love, Olivia the Cat
