Every time I decide to take a nap, I look around for Edna. She was a lovely, orange tabby with a bunny-soft coat and big, golden eyes. For almost 19 years,since she was five weeks old, Edna had been my hot water bottle, shaping her furry self to my mid-section with comforting precision, purring lightly. I felt like a three year old napping with her favorite blankie.
Everyone says, find a new best friend, but there comes a time when that is just not practical and would not be fair to the new kitty. So I just remember...and smile. Miss you forever, my sweet friend.
