Goodbye My Furry Friend

Milo when he was a kitten.

A tribute to Milo

June 1999-November 2008

My cat Milo became sick suddenly last month.  He had to be put to sleep.

He was ten years old.  He was the most “normal” cat I have owned out of five; if there is such a cat.

Everyone loved Milo.  He was gorgeous and he knew it.  He would greet everyone and plead for affection.  He had this cute mannerizm of using one paw to stroke your arm; which meant “pet me please”.One Christmas I put out a pretty globe shaped antique glass bowl half filled with water and floating peppermint candy candles.  Milo immediately thought this was his special drinking bowl!  He jumped to the table to check it out.  He is looking right at me as if to say, “This is really pretty but how do you expect me to get my head inside this bowl?”

Next thing you know he gave it a try!  His head fit okay but his tongue couldn’t reach the water! This was so funny.

He will be remembered fondly.
