The Bottom Line My wife and I lost our cat Max early Monday morning to a sudden, unexpected illness. We miss him very much as do our 2 other cats and our dog.

So long my friend
it seems like only yesterday
I first laid eyes on you
beautiful markings, black, white, gray

So long my friend
it seems like only yesterday
you added joy to my life
with your endless energy for play

So long my friend
it seems like only yesterday
you grew up strong and proud
with an unselfish dignity conveyed

So long my friend
it seems like only yesterday
kneading your furry paws into my chest
home from work, there to greet me every day

So long my friend
it seems like only yesterday
you watched me through the window
raking the leaves, anxious for one to blow your way

So long my friend
it seems like only yesterday
hearing your infectious "meeoooowww"
on your favorite blanket you lay

So long my friend
it seems like only yesterday
you assumed a piece of my heart
and there you'll always stay
