Keyono the Cat: In Loving Memory
Black as night, fierce in a fight
Mice feared his kitty might
Bright green eyes that pierce your soul
His eyes seem, to always know
Frisky and fun, but a typical cat
He did not come at the drop of a hat
A devon rex near 17 years
Always happy, never shedding tears
Quiet and calm, frisky and fast
When chasing dogs, he never was last
Pandora his mate, he loved her so much
Biting and clawing for a kitty touch
Catnip his mouth, did he ever savor
Getting him one, was a loving favor
His purring engine never ran low
His affection for all, never was slow
At night he creeped all through the house
Always on the search for an elusive mouse
Many a morning a bare foot did land
On the corpse of a mouse he thought was grand
An alarm clock he was, with prickly claws
Making sure on time to work was all
In loving memory and peace may he rest
Of all the kitties, Keyono's the best.

A fitting tribute to a loving pet. Our pets are like children and when they leave us we must grieve. Instead of of a grave stone, a poem will do.
I am sorry for your loss. As a fellow animal lover and the owner of two cats I know the love and affection that animals bring. This is a wonderful tribute to your Keyono, you were both lucky to have each other.
So sorry for your loss. What a lucky kitty to have a family that loved him so much. We lost a special kitty a year ago. My daughter and I wrote a poem/story and she drew the pictures. It was very therapeutic.
so sorry...

Thanks, I appreciate it. Some people who don't have pets or who haven't had one for a long time some times don't understand.
I am so sorry to hear about Keyono. My cat is my best friend. We had a cat from kittenhood when I was growing up who lived to be just under 16 years old. we were devastated when Katie died. Take care.
