You were only eleven years young
Yet in cat years you were a year older than me.
You were a soft shiny silver tabby
Yet you had some sandy colours and white.
Your eyes were the biggest I had ever seen in a cat and
Yes, you knew how to use them on me.
You loved me, I know because
You spent all of your time on my knee or beside me.
You worked your charm on your human dad and
You liked to steal his chair when he left it.
You knew he wasn't a cat lover but demanded his attention
You succeeded, You stole his heart too.
Your favourite game was peek-a-boo with me
You made my jaws ache from laughing when you cheated.
You gave me much joy and companionship vinni
You are going to be truly missed my precious little friend
Your final task now is to play, purr and snuggle God and wait for me.
In loving memory of 'vinni-van'. © TeAnne Pantony
