Lucy, our kitty of fifteen years

Oh happy day!
The sad day has finally come
and I thought it would NEVER get here
that Lucy has gone
to the afterlife to be tormented for eternity, just as she tormented me
the way of all the earth to meet her maker and live life in blissful peace and happiness.
That darn cat that has been pestering me for the past several years,
She has been such a joy to have around
eating the food off my plate if I step away for a moment; it's been such fun sharing our food with her - along with her dining on her own brand of "Special Kitty" cat food (she was "special" all right) - the brand name was quite fitting, for she was very special to us;
pestering me with incessant meowing;
greeting me with kindly purring the moment I would come in sight;
and let's not forget her driving us crazy with LOUD meowing that would WAKE THE DEAD! and scratching the paint off the doors and shredding the screens on the windows - just to get in the house at night,
guarding the yard from intruders to keep us safe and sound so we could rest peacefully and awaken refreshed in the morning.
Finally we can have some peace and quiet around here!
We will miss her until we meet again in the next life.
