Good-bye to Rebel

I'm sharing this since our meeting tonight was on loving and losing a pet (Marley and Me). Tonight my dad's cat Rebel of 13 years passed away. He laid between my dad and step-mom while they petted him until he fell asleep. We are all very upset, needless to say. Rebel was a very good cat. My husband actually hated cats until he met Rebel, who he decided was pretty cool. Rebel was a gray tabby with a red belly like my cats Maggie and Nelly, so I hugged them extra tight tonight. Maggie was a little annoyed, but when she saw my tears she decided to humor me. My dad and I were discussing how silly we felt because we know it is just a cat, but I thought you all might understand! Those little guys work their way into your heart. I told him I thought it was really strange that I had just gotten home from a book club meeting discussing losing a pet the night this happened, don't you think? Hope you guys don't mind me sharing. Hug your pets today.
