I think it’s kind of
silly to write a letter to cat, especially since you can’t read it. I want to
write it though because I feel like I need to thank the universe for you. I’m
not sure if you’re aware of this but when I first adopted you, I was living out
of my car. My mom had kicked me out and I had no where to go. Now, I have no
idea why the brilliant idea of getting a pet when I didn’t have a home came up
but it did, and I chose you. Thankfully, a few days after I took you my mom let
me come back home. At first she was not thrilled about you (she’s not big on
pets and our building didn’t allow them). I fought hard to keep you because
having you made me happier than I had been in a very long time. You were so
small and warm and you loved me so much. I was and am your whole world. Every
time I come home you rush to the door and beg for attention. I sleep soundly
every night snuggled up with your furry little self.
I don’t know if you know
this, but you’ve saved me on more than one occasion. When I’m at my lowest and
I feel myself slipping away you curl up next to me and put your paw on my face.
This may seem insignificant but every time you do this I remember that at least
one soul in this world needs me. I remember that, even if you’re just a cat, I
matter to you. I cry my woes to you. I confess my sins to you. I profess my
adoration for you on a daily basis. I might not be here writing these letters
if you had never come into my life. I’m thankful for you every single day.
With all the love I can give,
Mommy (the one that puts the food in the bowl)
