Cat in a Shirt

I posted this cat picture as my banner picture a few weeks ago. I bet most people thought I just found a random picture and felt silly. Oh no, my friends. That was MY cat -- Berkeley Aphrodite The Gray Kitty. Might I add this was my BELOVED cat. I have never loved a pet like I loved my Berkeley Boo. I have never loved most things and many people that way I loved my Berkeley Boo.

I've never been so comforted by something so random. Man, I loved that cat. When she died, I wrote a Eulogy for this blog. But at the time losing Berkeley was so sad and so sacred that I could not share my thoughts. I never posted it.

I actually have a framed portrait of my boodle in my bedroom next to pictures of the girls. I looked over at it today. I didn't feel sad. But I for a moment I was totally in tuned to how much I loved her. I mentioned her to Tim, and I think he felt it too. That cat saved my soul in a time when it was shattering and breaking and changing me forever.

I loved that cat. I miss that cat.
