I'm old. I'm nearing the end of my journey along this road of life.

I can safely say it's been a long and happy one for me, the way my mummy and grand dad brought me home from the r.s.p.c.a, and I know I wasn't a well kitten back then but I got over that, it was probably something I ate.

Anyway that's where my journey begins.

My mummy fell in love with me and so did my nanny and grand dad. Nanny thought I was a little rip because I kept climbing on things I shouldn't but, I was only a baby, I didn't know the difference between a curtain and a tree.

I learned however, and I was my mummy's girl. and grand dad was my favourite. for the first year at least. Nah only kidding he was my favourite, but second only to my daddy. or at least as much as my daddy,

Yes I had a daddy but I didn't get one of those until I was a year old.

I dunno where mummy found him but, I asked if we could keep him and she said yes.

For the last 9 years, I've been living with my mummy and daddy, eating, catching mice, drinking milk, purring on my daddy's lap, cuddling my mummy in the mornings, telling my little brother off, oh yeah! I got one of those when I was 2.

He's a, a, a, dog. But, I didn't care, he had 4 legs and I could play with him that's all that mattered.

I love my mummy and daddy so much and my little brother and all those other animals mummy and daddy brung home, even that little bugger of a boy cat called tigger. Bloody $10.00 special.

I don't know why but tigger went away. I think he was far too naughty and was quite the hand full but, never mind, I had my mummy, daddy, nanny, grand dad, and coco all to myself again.

I've had many happy times, and some not so happy like the time I had some annoying growth on my chest, but with mummy and daddy's tlc I got rid of that, I've seen 4 houses with my mummy and 3 with my daddy.

I could never've been happier. I had everything I wanted, a warm bed in winter, cold milk whenever I wanted it, a dog to play with, and for a few years there 2 littler brothers. a birdy called kenny and a guineapig called bubbles.

and I can't forget my bestest friend a little doggy smaller than me even called tiffany.

Today after 11 years on this earth, and a few days of feeling tired and gwumpy, mummy and daddy took me to see the nice man we see once a year.

They patted my head cried alot and so did my nanny and grand dad, but I just looked at them as best I could and told them that I'll be ok. the nice man would make it all better.

The nice man made it all better but my family are all sad.

I love them so much, but I couldn't stay sick and hurt them even more.

I've got a special job to do now, and that's keep watch over them and make sure Bubbles, Kenny and Tiffy are all ok and ready for when we'll all be together again.

I asked god to save a special place for my family, even that birdy that's been swearing all day today. He was so funny.

I just wanted to say I had a great time here on earth with my mummy and daddy and my nanny and grand dad and that big oath coco hehehe. More like little woos.

I just wanted to say to my family not to be too upset, I'm happy now, I got a big bowl of milk, a bowl of dry bits and there was a single waiting for me. it even had my name on it! how about that!

My daddy wrote this for me, as I am a smart cat but not so smart as to know how to type.

and he's even put a nice photo of me up here so you can see what a pretty girl I am.

Smokey we'll miss you so very much but we'll never forget you.

You brought so much joy into our lives, that we could never forget you.

We hope and pray that you are safe and happy now, free from illness.

We will always love you. you will have a special place in our hearts.

I hope that anyone who reads this doesn't go away crying, but goes away knowing how much we love our animals and knows what it is to lose them after such a long time.

It hurts the pain is unbareable and you feel like someone's torn your heart out and ripped it to shreds.

We learn to live with it after a while but the pain never goes away.

Smokey was a much loved cat and will be sadly missed.
