Cats Can Cry

We are too sad today, too sad to play, or stalk, or ask for treats. Do you know why? Our cousin Cleo died today. We had fun with Cleo, and she didn't scare us or chase us or bark at us. She DID eat some of our food, but I think that was because They give us nice food, and Cleo was trying to be friendly and share. When Cleo's Mom called this morning, She started to cry. That made us so sad, because She is usually the cheerful one. I tried to make her feel better. I got up on Her and gave Her snuggles, but I was not too good at it, because I felt just as bad. Kasey came and got very close to Her face. I think Kasey would have licked her tears away, that's how bad she felt. Kasey just doesn't do that - but she was this close!
She went to the vet's with Cleo's Mom, so they could make each other feel better. Here was the hardest part: Cleo died on her own before She and Cleo's Mom got there. She said that Cleo didn't want to put them through the hurt of saying goodbye to her face. The vet gave Cleo's Mom a piece of something with Cleo's paw print on it, so she can always remember Cleo. We don't need anything to remember Cleo. We won't forget our d-o-g cousin. Rest in peace, Cleo.
