Midnight Pub

in memoriam: misty the cat

~voidstar

i'm not prone to loneliness, but everyone struggled when the world went to sleep. tonight i'm pouring one out for a beloved cat, who came into my life when i was at my loneliest and with whom my time was too short.

misty, i really miss you. you were talkative. you purred easily. you leaned into head scritches. you napped beside my keyboard. i'm doing really well now and you helped get me there. i hope that i made your last year a happy one. fuck cancer.

anyway i hope your gemini browser can handle unicode.

Ahoy, Misty!

Your existence was meaningful and you are missed. I hope that makes your warm wherever you are.

Memories are a place.

Remember, wbarlow will forever remember you. Your purr is not forgotten.

Now I know why Smudge's whiskers are drooping. Misty was a good cat. *raises glass*
