Nov. 20th, 2009 12:23 pmRocket is gone.
I don't know if I've ever mentioned Rocket here. We had three strays, long ago - Tsarina, Divette, and Rocket. We had them for 10 years or more, I think. Of the three, Rocket was the sweetest and most affectionate. The neighbors called her Velcro, because if you picked her up, she'd cling to you, but she'd cuddle, too. Every day, she'd sit at the edge of the driveway when we came home, and when the car stopped, she'd be up on the hood, getting warm and waiting to be loved. She's the only stray I've ever known who was as affectionate, sweet, and loving as any of our indoor cats.
But she was very old, and she was never in good health. I don't know what killed her, but my roomie found her today and buried her with all honors.
And our hearts are broken.
