I miss him dearly. Not a day goes by that I don't look for him in his favorite spots or during our morning and night time rituals of feeding him and giving him pets. Wolfie (Mr. Softie) was the sweetest soul on earth, the most gentle and timid cat ever and I was truly blessed to let him be part of my life.

I love you my little guy and I miss you so much.

    You got me reflecting on losing an animal this time last year. There’s something about not having a shared language that makes the rough times so much harder. You can’t tell them why bad things are happening or why you are making them take a pill or why they have to go back to the scary place again (vet). But during the gentle times, when you and your pet can understand each other despite no shared language it’s a really unique and special thing. Every pet and human will develop their own non verbal language over a life time together. My surviving cat just started understanding that we are helping her when we clip her claws. She now rolls over and lets it happen and looks up appreciatively. In the past she would resist it and be mad at us

      Yeah it's amazing how animals can understand and and vice versa, you build up a rapport with your pet and you two can pretty much just feel each other out. They're such special creatures.
