027: Cat

My heart is so heavy right now, I don’t even know if this will be more than a couple of words long. I have no one else to tell about this. We lost our baby cat today. She fell off the balcony and since she was so young, couldn’t even soften her fall. You know how people like to say cats have 9 lives, well we’re still waiting, half hoping she’ll somehow waltz through the door.

We had three cats; Gucci, Tucci and Pucci but we lost Pucci when she fell to her death. I was told her last hours were in so much pain. I feel so awfully laden with a lot of feelings. She was the friendliest of them all and loved cuddles as much as I did. Every time I’d walk into the house, she’d try to climb up my trouser leg. I actually started wearing long pants because of her. I know things happen, probably won’t be my last cat death but God, this hurt.

I pray to receive another as sweet as her, just like my sweet Pucci. 🤍🖤

Uhhh… update (4/12/2022) so it was a false alarm from the neighbor hood watch. Pucci had quietly slipped out and hadn’t died. So I guess we can keep the speech until some shit goes down, other than that, love and light. 🤍

It has been a hot minute. Just here to update that Gucci did pass on. She had managed to get laid and gave birth. However, her body couldn’t handle all that pressure and she ended up dying two days after. Her litter could not survive without her and my family was running up and down with The Miss Uganda Pageant so the kittens were neglected. They died two days later as well.

A month later, Tucci also passed silently after a miscarriage when her baby died inside so she waas buried shortly after. They all come from Patchwork, a result of an intermarriage from Nanny and some poor bred cat in the neighbourhood. (Her mama was a whore) Patch, as we call her is however very strong and feisty. We all love her regardless.

Pucci stays, still cuddling. He is a good boy.
