This Wednesday October 17TH marks 5 months since I lost my beloved cat Boots. He was my housemate and buddy for nearly 12½ years from January 01ST 1995 until his somewhat expected death this past May.

On most days during the peak of his life Boots was waiting for me to return home from work in the afternoon. He was sleeping in the hot Sun on the westward-facing window sill of my 2ND bedroom overlooking the parking lot 15 feet below.

As my car pulled in to its assigned parking space below Boots would awaken, get up, stretch, meow, and watch my every move. He would stare me down as I got out of my car, walked down the street, and out of his view to check my mail at the apartment-style mailboxes.

As I returned back to his view from up above and I approached the stairs leading up to my front door he jumped down off of the window sill, and greeted me at the front door with a non-stop barrage of friendly meows while rubbing against me over and over again. He followed me everywhere I went for about the next 15 minutes or so. He was always glad to see me.

I was always glad to see him too. He was the best love and friendship that I had received all day long. I carried on normal everyday conversations with him. He always understood me. I got a better resonse from him than from most of my co-workers that I had just interacted with during the work day.

Boots was my best friend in the world for 12½ years. He is with his Creator now, but his memories with me are some of the few great memories that I experienced during that long time-frame. Those memories will stay with me for the rest of my life.

Now that Boots is gone but certainly not forgotten I have a lot of new friends now that are real (human) friends that I interact with on a daily basis via this blog, their blogs, E-MAIL, telephone, and in-person during the week. They are living Life with me, and we are all walking together on this fantastic journey. These are the best friends of my entire life. It just took me 40 years to find them.

Chris animal persons like us treat our pets as part of the family. We are having problems with Lucky (the 135 pd baby). William is taking him over to the vets tomorrow and we are in pins and needles trying to figure out was wrong. He does not walk around, play or even go for walks. Since Ivans passings both animals have felt the loss, but we don't know to what extend. We think he is very depressed.
I'm praying that the vet figures this out. We can't bear the notion of putting him down.
