Astra
Added 2016-07-09 20:12:12 +0000 UTCSome of you know what the necklace I wear represents. Two years ago today, I had to put down my beloved cat Astra. She was my companion for 15 years. My first kitty. My baby. I read somewhere that it's sometimes harder to mourn a pet than a person because animals love us unconditionally. It's easy to remember the flaws of humans. That fucking cat was a firecracker. She could hunt like no other. She demanded affection. She disappeared for two years and survived off her smarts and charm and then came back to me and started purring the moment she was in my arms. Letting her go was one of the hardest things I ever did. I carry this vial of her ashes around my neck so that she can rest above my heart. I miss her every fucking day and I would burn villages if it would bring her back. But it won't. So I give my love to the animals I have taken in, show them the same respect and care I gave her. I miss her every day but today I take time aside to really mourn. She knew love every day. In that I take great comfort.
