Ode To Cosette

I lost my cat friend, Cosette a few months ago.  It has been devastating.  I miss her daily.  I feel blessed to have had her in my life.

I adopted Cosette December 24, 2004.  She was 2 years old at that time.  She died November 6, 2015.  Except for the year I was without housing, we had 10 years together.  Every morning she woke with me and every evening she greeted me when I came home from work.  She was a very dignified and elegant creature and she was so refined in her behavior that she wouldn't even play with toys.  :)  I occasionally would bring her catnip and that is the only time she would let loose!  She had a distinct personality and we were well suited.  She had magnificent manners and with a look from me, she knew exactly what to do.





Ode to Cosette  12/24/02 - 11/6/15

My friend
Loyal, lovely, lounging
You make me smile
You heal me, soothe me, protect me
Watch over me
Lazy days we spent together napping
Many giggles you gave me with your dry humor
So tolerant of my wacky, weirding way
You loved me no matter what
You taught me unconditional love
and showed me the way home
And though you are gone from this earthly realm
You are always with me,
Now and forever

I will be with you again
when we meet on the other side

Thank you, I love you forever <3
