My cat. (Picture under the cut).
About a week ago, we had to put him to sleep. He was the best freakin' cat in the world. When I was about five, I said I wanted a white cat. Our neighbor's cat had just had kittens, and we went to their house to pick one out. There was one white cat. I named him Snowy.
To my disappointment, he changed colors and became a grayish white color. How terrible of him. I changed his name to Cocoa.
When I was kid, I used to whisper my secrets to him. I don't know or remember what sort of secrets I had when I was kid, but I suppose he thought I was terribly dorky. I probably was (am). He loved being outside. He always came to you whenever you were crying or sick.
And look:
He didn't even mind snuggling with you when you were wearing an embarrassingly ugly flannel shirt.
So here's to the best cat in the world, Cocoa Cox. He lived a long life full of sleeping, snuggling, playing outside, sleeping, tuna, and sleeping. :)
