Goodbye my feline friend

How could it hurt so much?
You're just a cat.
How could I miss you so much?
You're just a cat.
How is it that everywhere I look I start to cry?
Because,
You're just cat.
And yet as you lay in my arms and I watched you take your last breath
I can't help but feel my heart breaking
Because,
You were MY cat.

Goodbye beloved paper chaser.
Goodbye bed warmer.
13 years of great memories.
I love you, you little stinker.
