sweet bright eyes
closed forever
my baby is gone

a sweet cat that was
my best friend
14 years of days together

she groomed me when i was sad.
she groomed me this morning.
before we put her down.

scratchy tongue licking my head while i cried because i wasn’t ready to let her go.
but it was her time.
20 years is a long time to be a cat.

gone without pain
it is humane
and that keeps me sane
while i feel all this pain

a tiny cat
filled so much space
a giant hole
is in her place

so happy to see her when i get home
but she is not here
and i am lost

Shiki and LB

    Rest in peace Shiki

    I’m so sorry for your loss.

    I usually prefer cats to people, myself.

    I live in Oakland too.

    and they say that we Aspies lack empathy…I can tell how much you loved and cared for her.

    I do the same for my little black shelter kitty. He’s named Huey Newton, cause he’s a cool black cat that lives in the Oaktown:)

Champagne bottles have an indentation, called a punt, in the bottom of the bottle because it relieves the pressure on the bottom of the bottle. Without the punt (or kick, as it is also called) the bottle might well blow out at the bottom. For still wines, the punt in the bottle has been there since glass was first blown by hand. A pontil, or wooden stick, was used to secure the bottom of the bottle while the glass blower spun and blew at the neck end. Naturally, the stick indented the bottom of the still molten glass. Today, molded glass bottles do not require the punt, but tradition decrees that it shall be there.
