Hannah the Magical Cat

Description

Hey everyone, so... My cat Hannah passed away January 27th, 2017...

I took this picture a few months ago, probably in November 2016. I used PhotoDirector on my phone to create this edit of my kitty. So far, I have done this for my cat Sam after he passed, and my dog Penelope after she passed.

The title says "Hannah the Magical Cat," because she truly had magic. I mean, whenever someone in my family would have some sort of ache or pain, all it would take to feel better is a nice cuddle with Hannah. She would either sit on our hips or go under the blankets and flop down into our bellies. She would mold herself to the bed and rest her head in the crook of my elbow. And her purr... There was such love and peace in her purr as her paws held my hand in a way that comforted me like nothing else could. Whenever Hannah cuddled with me, I felt safe.

On Wednesday January 25th, 2017, I spent the whole day with Hannah. Because a few days before that, she had stopped eating. She was getting weaker, and starting to hide from my family. Well, that's an animal's instinct. If you're out in the wild, and you can't be of use to anyone anymore, you isolate yourself from everyone else. But we all kept showing her that it was ok to be around us. I napped on the bed in the guest bedroom the whole day of January 25th with Hannah. There was no way I was going to leave her. I missed breakfast while I stayed with her. It was well after normal lunch time when my mom finally got me to go downstairs and eat. But after eating, I went back upstairs and napped with Hannah again. I was on my side with my hand close to her as we both closed our eyes. I could feel her reach her paws out and rest them over my hand. I slightly opened my eyes and smiled, before I closed my eyes again and drifted to a light sleep. When I woke up a little later, her paws were still holding my hand. It felt as if she knew I was trying to comfort her. Because there had been so many times when she had comforted me.

This cat was not a pet. She was part of the family, along with Sam, Penelope, and Sydney(Currently 11yrs old).

Rest in peace, Hannah. I love you.

I just experienced that a few weeks ago. It feels like a part of me is gone forever. So sorry that happened it's really hard. :'(
