This cat has adopted me, pretty much, and when I first saw her, she was skinny as hell and had skin problems, so I took care of her for a while. She'd follow me everywhere, I'd go outside everyday and feed her, give her love, play, and I'd always beg mom to keep her, but mom kept saying "no". I'd sneak her in the house every now and then when mom had to work. The cat would always wait for me until I came home from anywhere, then she'd walk up to me and mew loudly. She always waits for me.
Mom went out of town Nov 3, and I had to stay with dad. Then I came home to feed the dog and the cat. I came up to the door looking for the cat and listening for a "meow", but I couldn't find her, so I fed the dog first. After I fed the dog, I went back outside to find the cat again. I looked around everywhere the cat would be, but there was no sign of her anywhere. Worried, I ask the neighbor if they saw my cat anywhere.. and.. they told me the news.
They said there was a dog chasing it last night and the neighbor found her dead in a swimming pool. She had drowned.
Mom called me and said she was thinking about adopting the cat, but I told her the cat was dead. It's too late.
I still find myself looking for her and waiting on the porch for her, even though she's gone. I miss her so much.
I will always remember her.
Farewell, Sushi.
