Katja, my cat died yesteday at 12 years old. In that time we've traveled thousands so miles together and lived in a billions places. I've spent so long caring for her that I don't know what to do now. If nothing else, it's been me and her against the world. For the first time in 12 years, I feel completely alone.
I'm not sure exactly when she was born, because she was a stray that a friend found in a park. She was approximately 3 weeks old. She had asphalt all over her legs and they thought she was grey because she was so dirty. I went to get her and put her in my shirt pocket because she was so small.
She would follow me for miles and wait outside a store until i came out. She'd climb up trees and jump down on me. She'd meow when I'd sneeze. She'd sit for hours and watch me paint and want to lay on what ever i'm working on. She listened to me learn how to play guitar, bass, and keyboard. She's watched me start and end every relationship i've been in. When the alarm clock didn't go off, she'd wake me up by licking my nose. I'd always wake up with her next to me.
She died in her sleep. I miss her.
Katja and I - '93
