Panda, you were a loyal and loving friend.  You were always there for me through so many heartaches and happy times.  To many, you were just a "cat".  To me, you were my big old fat friend.  My tartie.  My fugly cat and my snuggle bunny.  I miss you my friend.  Dad said I was silly putting your urn on the bed in the sun.  But that's where you loved to lie.  No amount of words can ever say how much I loved you, my friend.  I can still see you walking down the hallway - after having jumped off "our" bed, to head to your food bowl.  Then it was to the kitty litter tray (why you never used outside, I'll never know!), and back to bed.  



I miss you saying "hello" to me whenever I walked in the room.  Every time I walked in.  You always acknowledged me and your purr was loud and strong when you were next to me or on my knee.  



I love you Panda.  I miss you.  But know, you will always be with me.  In heart, in spirit and in my memory.  



Say hello to Maggie for me.  Let her know I miss her also and that she is always in my heart and memory.  Her camelia tree is in flower again - beautiful flowers for a beautiful Maggie cat.  I want you with me in the bedroom though for the time being, Panda.  I'm not ready for you to go just yet.  



Goodbye my friend.  Rest in peace and breath easy now.  



Forever in my heart.



"Mum".
