Rest in Peace my Orange Tabby · 4:04am Sep 19th, 2015
So today was a pretty bad day for my family, we just lost our little orange tabby cat named Barney. Barney was a four year old cat so he was still pretty young. We tried to keep him indoors, but he always wanted to be outside. He was always willing to cuddle, he would always make me smile even when I thought it would be impossible. When we first got him I gave him the cold shoulder, but he managed to become one of my best friends. But he got out of the house last night, when I realized he had gotten out I had given chase. I came so close to getting him but he managed to slip away. I thought to myself that he would be fine, after all it wasn't the first time he had run away, he had always returned home a few hours later. But today I woke up to find my mother crying, I asked her what was wrong and she said "Barney is dead." I was shocked, I didn't know what to say. She told me that he was hit by a car and that my father had moved his body out to the back yard. I saw my best friend lying dead, his jaw dislocated and his right eye had burst open. I wanted to cry, but for some reason I couldn't. I just picked him up and held him in my arms while petting him. Hours had passed while we waited for my sister to return home from work so we could bury him. When I saw him in the ground I started to cry. I blamed myself for his death. He was my best friend and now he is gone. My parents told me not to blame myself, he loved to run away so there was always a good chance for this to happen. I miss Barney.
Rest in Peace little buddy.
