I call you Monkey because thats what you were, a tuxedo cat with the most beautiful green eyes I'd ever seen. As a kitten you were into everything climbing on everything afraid of absolutly nothing,this is how you got your name.I found you at a shelter in South Carolina because Kaya was destrought after Guiness got hit by a car,little did I know that this would be your fate too.You,Kaya,and I were inseperatable.We were together for five years, and in that time we moved around alot but you always adjusted quickley, you were happy just to be with me.We moved back in with my parents for a little while where you became best friends with her dog cookie.You got that poor dog in so much trouble by knocking something off the counter that you knew she would get caught with in her mouth,meanwhile you would be watching from around the corner,I always knew you were laughing inside.We moved again this time for good,you became very persceptive always knowing when I was sick or sad ...You never left my lap.When Shadow came along he had been a sickley kitten, you took him in like a mother, showing him the ropes groming him and even let him steal your treats.When we got Picasso you did the same for him.You always waited in the window for me, somehow you always knew when I would be home.You laid with me every night while I took a bath.You were always my favorite,and you knew it. When I got the call I was told you had broken the screen to the back door and were outside,I rushed right home.I wandered for at least and hour calling your name before I had to go back to work.I had a sick feeling in my stomach knowing you may not come back.When I came home that night I just knew. And there you were,not even six inches from the back yard.You must've been trying to get home to greet me.Your internal clock was always programed.I buried you with the ball you used to fetch.Kaya knew almost instantly you were gone.I still wonder why you hadnt made It those six inches into our yard,I still think God took the wrong cat.Next month will be the one year anniversay of your death and I am still distraught.I miss you more than you'll ever know and I can't wait to see you on the other side where I know you are watching over us and keeping us safe.I love you munk-a-dunk! Love,Mommy
