Our Last Day Together! March 14, 2010


We as most of you know from all my facebook posts, my sweet Miles left yesterday to live with a new family in Chattanooga, TN. (Anita & Mike) I have had good moments and bad, but overall, its been pretty emotional. So hard to loose two cats in a week. It was very hard for me to let go of him. He was part of my family for 8 years and I loved that cat soooooo much. I loved all my kitties, but this little guy just had my heart from the beginning. Maybe because of all his funny quirks, he was so rebellious in the beginning, so persistent and at times VERY annoying! He also was extremely fun to play with! All of that said, he had the most loving and sweet side EVER and I am pretty much the only person that has ever had the luck of experiencing it and probably the only one that ever will. It took me a long time to get him to like to be loved on. I really hope that he warms up to his new family too though. They have a 16 year old daughter that wants him to sleep with her, so he will really like that and they will become fast friends.
Here are a couple memories I would like to jot down about Miles:
His utter (LOL-how it swung back and forth when he walked/ran), the way he hated his tummy rubbed and near his tail...Sometimes I did it on purpose to aggravate him bc he would try to bite me in a playful way and attach himself to the sleeve of my shirt and then run away as fast as he could, the worst smelling poops on the face of the planet, how he would always talk to me, his love of the rabbit fur mice (when Louie did not find them first and eat them), the way he would always come visit me on the couch or in bed and all I had to do was pat my hand on my chest and he would jump up and sit on me and purr, his love of water and drinking out of the faucet, my mom always being a sucker and letting him have water from the faucet and she could never fool me because he would go running into the bathroom and yelp until someone would give him more, he loved to rub heads and HE LOVED HIS EARS TO BE PET, I always kissed him behind the ears-that is where he was the softest, and we can't forget when he would try his hardest to get me out of the bed on the weekends....scratching on the wicker furniture or jumping on the door trying to open it if he was locked out. He always wanted to be everywhere that I was, he always kept me company. Everyone always said that he was a huge cat (17lbs), but I never really noticed....I loved him unconditionally. That is why I have had to do this and had to make such a hard move. My cousin Kelli made me feel better: "She said, "You have done a noble thing. Nobody said that being noble was easy and that is why some many people aren't". I keep telling myself that this was what was best for him and that he couldn't live in the laundry room forever. Especially all alone, now that Maddie has moved away too. I would pass through the laundry room on the way to the garage and see him sitting all alone in a basket with just his ears poking out (those big ears)....that was no life for him and I know that. I will miss you my Moo Moo.....and I will love you forever.
