Here’s my latest entry into the dVerse Open Link – why not take a look at everyone else’s wonderful responses?
This is dedicated to some friends of mine, a lovely couple, who have had a horrible time this year. To top it all, one of their beautiful cats passed away yesterday. They know who they are – this is for them, and their puss.

Freya Writes... 
Written with the love of a true cat lover. I began thinking you could be talking about any cat anywhere as they rest and eat when they want. Good one Freya.
Oh yes, I’m definitely a cat person. In fact, I think that needs to be a discussion had early on in a relationship… 🙂
I was thinking about our old family cats as well, when I wrote this.
Lovely.. the cat’s sleep well up there and drink of the sunshine… should be a solace to read.
It was, I’m pleased to report!
what comforting thoughts….my cat passed away last christmas….there was a boy that once asked me if he would see his dog in heaven and i told him if it is such a marvelous place i would have a hard time believing they would not be there…smiles.
What a great response on your part – I would love to have been the recipient 🙂
I have more than a few I think about often. >KB
They stay, don’t they?
This is a very comforting piece that I think many people with connect to. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Talicha!
Lovely poem. I’m more of a dog-lover but this poem still touched me. The bonds we share with our pets, our friends, are truly special.
Well, I’m sure a similar poem could be written for dogs 🙂 Thank you, Alex.
Aw. I have a friend who is going to LOVE this poem. I will send her over.
=)
Thank you, Sue 🙂

It just came to me – as these things often do… 🙂

Sweet thoughts ..I believe there are cats in heaven .
They particularly enjoy resting on the cotton candy clouds 🙂
Awww! This is wonderful! Hopefully it will bring your friends some peace. 🙂
Thank you, Katie! They loved it – thankfully!
Sounds like a wonderful place
Doesn’t it?! 🙂
Please, please let me be a cat … it’s much less work than being a human … smiles
Absolutely… 🙂
Bless you for writing this for them, I’m sure it will give them some comfort and a place to bring up good memories. Nicely done!
Thank you, Shanyn.
this is a wonderful poem, how selfless of you to write this for your friends and all of us animal lovers who’ve lost dear friends. we have 2 cats and 2 dogs, i work with animals all day, so this piece really resonated. ty for sharing it with us.
Ah, thank you. He was a lovely cat, and I had the pleasure of feeding him a few times whilst his family were on holiday, in years gone by. I am a cat-lover myself – I would like to get one myself, when I am in more settled circumstances.
I have a cat (and about 6 of his friends )of my own…I love your poem and blog 🙂 so Nice to meet you!
Thank you so much, Morgan. It’s good to meet you too!
I really believe that cats & dogs & other beloved pets will be in the same heaven as their human owners….I hope I am right. I am depending on it!
Oh, so do I!
