A Farwell To My Kitty
So today was a very hard day for me. The day I had to put my kitty to sleep. It is never easy to do something like that. I will be hurting for a while. However, I am going to try to make sure that I finish her send off with a smile. For she was a great kitty. She was cute, noisy, and fluffy just like any anime kitty. Which is a good thing because she was an anime fan.
This is one of my favorite memories with her. Now I know that some of you might say "Having your cat pointing at the TV doesn't make her an anime fan". Given the number of times she fell asleep on my leg while watching anime. I would be inclined to agree with you on that, but that is not the case. There were several, if many fewer, case of her sitting on my leg/lap and intensely watching the anime. I even saw her react a time or two to an intense scene. Well either that or to a kitty that sounded like a kitty. True she could watch the most intense parts of an anime and drop into one of her famous comas, but I will maintain that she was an anime fan through and through.
Her kitty comas were the best though. I always loved... and dreaded when she would fall into a deep sleep on my leg. On one side it was adorable that she did it. On the other side it was REALLY painful for me. This was because when she would fall into a deep sleep she would lose all control of the muscles that stabilized her. So she would inevitably fall off. It was always so cute. She would fall onto the couch and then look at me and give me grumpy meows. "How dare you" or "What happened why did I wake up?". Of course this past time had its dangers. She was very fond of my bar stool. So.. ummm similar things would happen to her on. She was extra super grumpy when she fell off that. She always threw a temper tantrum when she fell off. However, she would always get back up there.
She always found a way up to where she wanted to go. I am glad she had her claws because she would have been screwed without them. I mean how else would she get up on my desk. I rarely sat back in the position that allowed her to just jump into my lap. I think she was punishing me for that. Hence why she would pull herself up onto my chair by the arm rest. My leg was often time used to stabilize her. Of course she needed to get up so that she could get the monitor.
To this day I will never know what she was after when it came to the monitor. She seemed to like to attack it when I was working though. Yup she really liked that. She would jump up and attack it. She was hardcore about it too. She would get on both legs and swipe at the screen. She was attacking that evil thing that I did called work. I think she knew that it was keeping my attention from her. She needed all the attention..when she wanted it. Though I think I would have to qualify her as a Tsundere kitty.
Yup she was very tsundere, at least she wanted to be. She was the rare weak tsundere. Because I would be loving her and she would grumble at me. On occasion she would swipe at me or bite at me. Though that was super cute because she was so super gentle with her attacks. If she wanted to bit me she would just open her mouth and sort of ram me with her teeth, it was strange. However, whenever I came to her to love her she would be like "JERK WHAT ARE YOU DOIING!!!" Then she would later jump up on me and give me that proud look "I am doing you a favor so don't take it the wrong way". She was very tsundere, but that made her cute because like most tsundere characters she was super tiny.
I was very lucky to have her in my life. I know that I gave her a wonderful life. Not perfect, but there was always a spot to be stolen from me, food to eat, water cups to steal drinks out of and most importantly a warm lap for her naps. I really loved her to pieces. Which is kind of why I fell to pieces at the end. She kept up her stubborn prideful actions all the way to the end. When I would put her on my lap to cuddle with me she would try to escape. If I was petting her too much she would tell me to back off. Any time I helped her do something I would get a nasty look because I hurt her pride. She was my cute lovable kitty and she can never be replaced. Now she finally can get a good nap without having to worry about falling off of something or me poking her awake. Thank you for all the good times kitty.
