What a delightful tribute to an old and supportive friend. I bet when you're in the lounge room tonight, you can still feel DOC's presence. Love her name. I call our cat Mongrel Guts, not quite as endearing as your cat's name, but just as loving.

Bob, your funny cat name Mongrel Guts set me laughing! Well, sounded just fine to her :-)
Thanks for an amazing review, sir :-)

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
This is a warm and endearing poem and your words of love and admiration for your pet shone through like stars from Heaven. I am sorry for your loss as pets become part of our family and we enjoy their company and miss them when they are gone. Your poem is so very touching and I wish I had a six for you. You exposed your heart here and I wallowed in your kind words about your beloved cat, love Dolly x x x

Hi Dolly,
I love your review and kindred thoughts. Such an outpouring of love from one little beastie, I have never experienced before. As he neared the end of his life, he only got stronger in his love for me. It was extraordinary.
I will always cherish your remarkable words, Dolly. Thank you,
Senyai

A poetic tribute to your Claus, Well composed and I can feel your anguish and loneliness for Claus's company. I enjoyed this line the most: "He practiced cat- telepathy effortlessly."

The tributes to our pets reveal our heartfelt feelings for them. Their presence is soothing, their love unconditional, as is their loving glances. Our hearts are heavy when the pass, but the joy we feel with them is priceless.

I'm so sorry to hear about your cat. I lost my cat last year. She was my baby. Your poem was so descriptive of your cat. I enjoyed reading it.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
Wow, Senyai, you may be a little unsure of your meter etc., but you certainly know how to put emotion and poignancy into your work. From the very start you held my interest with expectation, of course, for her sad demise. I love your "from my Monday worst to my Sunday best" You introduce Claus with some heartfelt memories before switching to a dialogue direct with him which is filled with love and endearing details. I've never heard the expression 'through the waterfall' before but it's a stunningly evocative one, enhancing the metaphor still more with your 'sparkling world' and 'rushing cascades.' I feel I know Claus now (the visual is beautiful). Thank you for sharing this excellent tribute! take care Debbie

Comment from Julie Helms
Senyai,
This is such a lovely tribute to your true friend. I had to put down my 15-year old little buff tiger girl last week. I understand the pain and the longing to see them again. Your poem conveyed your emotion well, and I liked the internal rhymes.
I have a couple thoughts:
anchoring us as time matched on
(marched on) maybe?
made it your's as we shared our own
(No apostrophe, yours)
Thanks for sharing your little boy with us!

Hi Julie,
Thank you kindly for your most gracious review and for finding those typos! I had read over t.his poem incessantly and never caught them, very strange how I could have missed. Your astute eye caught them and I am thankful.
All the best,

Hi, Nicki,
Thank you for your gracious review of my best friend. He was such a little companion always by my side but independent too. Yes, I miss him so much.
I appreciate your welcoming words on my work.
All the best,
