Today we lost my cat Sundance. He was the basis for the cat Enoki in my book. I hadn’t dedicated the book to him, but it will live in remembrance of him.
Sundance was like life:
full of contradictions
He was gentle and timid
yet his meow was loud.
His purr was soft
yet his favorite way to show affection was a boisterous head butt
He had a goofy charm
yet he had the depth of an angel.
He was silly and clumsy
yet he always knew when I needed some comfort
He saved my life
yet I couldn’t save his.
But I held him as he passed
from this life to the next.
