You were my first
And I was so excited to meet you
When we got you home it was like you’d always been here
Your paw got caught on the travel bag
And you sat with us on the sofa
You made me so happy, a little serotonin machine
And I’m so sorry I couldn’t keep you alive
But I just want to know, wherever you are
That I love you so much, and always will
Smudge – the best cat I could have hoped for
