Well this was just beautiful, what a superbly written and authentically bittersweet tribute to Chai. I'm so sorry he's gone, and so glad that he had you in his life.

Thanks, Melissa. I put photos on the Facebook version. He was an adorable, sweet kitty.

Wow. *sniff* You and Chai had a beautiful relationship. You should be proud. I agree about pets. The dependency is real and I'm not convinced it's right to keep them confined. Maybe they should roam and be exposed to risks and disease. I'm not sure. I feel very conflicted about it.

But, none-the-less, there is a lot of meaning to be found in the human-animal relationship.

Sending you my love. Rest well, Chai.

Thanks. I've gone back and forth with how I feel about keeping pets indoors, but ultimately I know the two cats I had were too dumb not to get hit by cars. I think raising shelter pets is more about giving them a comfortable life whereas otherwise they'd have either been euthanized or mistreated. But they were happy, and that's all that mattered to me.

Hope you're well.
