Cat

He touched the heart of everyone he met.

Warm and loving.

Gentle. Playful in a sophisticated kind of way.

An old soul.

The perfect cat.

The only time anyone was ever allowed to refer to Gatto

as a cat was in the context of his being the perfect cat.

Only four years old it seems so unfair.

But we are fortunate to have been blessed with one

so special as Gatto an angel in fur.

We learned so much from you Gatto:

true companionship

how to give and ask for little in return

love without judgement.

You made us laugh when you growled like a dog

or climbed into that cubby hole up by the ceiling

so you could keep watch on what was going on.

You made us laugh when you played

with your brother Remy.

We miss you so much and we thank you

for being a part of our lives.

Valerie Adam and your brother Remy
