Chilli came into my life one
winter morning as a kitten. I was taken in by his sad eyes and my heart
just broke. I took him home and give him a good bowl of tuna with some
milk. Since that day Chilli Baby been with us ever since. Now this
cat was not just a pet, oh no not by a long shot. He used to play with my
neighbor's animal's to include the dogs, goats and the horses. Now don't
ask me how, they just did. Well we had Chilli fixed and declawed, and he's
been a home buddy after that. One year we bought a Kitten, a female, and
had her fixed and declawed also. But boy was Chilli happy to have a
playmate, even tho she give him hell all the time, and believe me there
were time I would believe he was going to kill her, they always made up
and lay with each later as you can see in the picture. Well in 2001 I had
a hysterectomy, when I came home Chilli was by my side the whole time, and
he would let no one get to me. And in 2002 I had knee surgery, and once
again he was by my side. Well this past 2 weeks Chilli was not being
himself and I got worried so we took him to the vet. That's when I got the
bad news that Chill had a liver problem and on top of that I was also told
that he had diabetes. Well the vet kept him there for a week, and I got up
every day to go see him at 8:00 every morning and sat with him just like
he did with me all those years. This past Monday the vet told me
that he was having a hard time trying to maintain Chilli's sugar, and said
that he would have a very hard time, he said the best thing to do is put
him to sleep. I cried that afternoon for what seem to be a forever.
I asked if I can have him cremated, and the vet said he would take care of
it. I picked my Chilli up on the first of July and my husband bought a
beautiful small vase with a lid with two doves on the lid with roses, he
said we will put his ashes in there and we will glue the lid shut. He will
be next to my bed side on my nite table along with a picture, I will
miss him and I will never forget my Chilli Baby. Please have a good
after life my friend and may God greet you with open arms and keep you by
his side till I get there.
God Bless You
Chilli Baby
Mommy does miss you
