My best friend has been missing for a week. Almost nine years of daily contact and then he's gone. The worst part is not knowing what has happened to him. My only hope is that some nice family has taken him in. Realistically, someone or something has happened to him, a cat who never leaves his post. He had nine lives and used most of them. I guess this time they ran out. I got my boo boo kitty for free at a fleamarket so small i wrapped him in a quarter shirt and brought him home on my lap.  He has heard everything I could never say to anyone, been on all my meandering walks, and moved all the houses with me. He was the best the only one to be counted on to greet me everyday. Practically deaf, he has survived so many feats and fought many dogs many twice his size. He is the only cat I moved to Florida.  He will be missed and remembered. I stumbled on this site and it seems a way to say goodbye to him. Since I can't give him the memorial he so deserved.I love you psycho I hope you are on a mountain in cat heaven.
