Sebastian – the love of my life (so far).

I will miss you always my darling.
I loved the way you chirruped hello when you came into the room (unless I was sleeping)
I loved the way you jumped on my bed in the morning if I was late getting up, and demanded kisses
I loved watching you drink, lapping the water.
I loved all your gentle kisses, the gentlest touches, almost just a breath

I loved watching you eat, your head nodding as you settled the food back
I loved your beautiful and fine markings and your sensitive soul
I loved your eye markings above your real eyes and the ones on your back
I loved the way if i talked to you long enough, you’d miao back as if it say, enough love already.
I loved the way you went all soppy or jealous if I was on the phone, especially for too long.
I loved you playing tag with me through the stairs and the way you declawed so as not to hurt me
I loved the way you got me to come outside to play with you there, in and out of from under the table and chairs, in and out of the house
I loved the way you defied gravity especially when I wasn’t looking and jumped 8 feet with no holds onto loose folded clothes.
I loved the way you sat next to me on the sofa. I loved the way you followed me round the house or flat, never too close or on my lap but near enough, always, following me.
I loved the way you purred initially when i picked you up, then struggled away pushing hard against my chest with your paw.
I loved your bleach orgies, collapsing suddenly legs splayed out to all four corners and rubbing your tummy into the smell, to get as near as you could
I loved you playing with the grey fur mice, jumping up high – which you also did when startled by a thin bit of paper moving suddenly, or a carrier bag rustling.
I loved that you welcomed me home every single day we were together rushing downstairs if necessary, even if scary strangers and cats were there. Truly so thankful for that. So special
I loved that you were 100% reliable and dependable, to be always loving attentive and gorgeous
I loved the way you play-chased me in the garden (and the fox!). Humped back and bushy-tailed, jumping towards me and then away, side ways on , like a boxer.
I loved it when you went outside watching you savour the outside world with all your senses, sniffing the air, watching the birds above, bristling with love and enjoyment
I loved the way you were always perfectly clean your white fur pristine and brilliant
I loved the way you knew when it was time to bed, went upstairs, sometimes before me, and lay on the tea towel, all neat
I loved the way you, though so nervous, started trusting me more and more, even to going to sleep together (for a while).
I loved the way you preferred a clean surface and let me know you wanted your towels cleaned or changed
I loved the way you left whiskers for me to find and let me take them to china to remind me of you
I loved the way you stretched up to scratch the scratch post
The way you had a spot for each activity, like for receiving fishy treats. The chair in Ravenscourt and the arm of Tracey’s red chair in Clarence House, strategically fabulous, central, can see everything – outside, me in the kitchen, up high.
I loved the way you curled your paw round and over your eyes when you curled up to sleep
I loved you.
and still do.
I’m so sorry if i missed a sign for help. I’d do anything to change things and bring you back.
Thankyou for the best, most joyful, most loving, intimate times I’ve had over the past years and the deepest love. For showing me that to truly love a being is the best feeling.
At least you never grew old, were always beautiful and alert, poised, fresh and very fluffy
Thankyou for teaching me so much. Please stay with me for ever.
