Before he was a part of our family he was, and still is, a friend of his previous owner A (for privacy I will not say his name). 'A' found Whiskey dumped in a skip as a kitten. Luckily, 'A' found him and his sibilings, the sibilings went to other families and Whiskey was taken in by 'A'. At this time, Whiskey was given his first name... Skippy!
In my opinion, fortunatley, the name didnt stick. So, he was given his next and current name Whiskey. Years pass and Whiskey enjoys a comforting and happy life with 'A'. Unfortunatley, on December 13th 2014, 'A' suffered from a health complication and passed away. As we were his neighbour's we offered to take in his poor cat, Whiskey.
This was only meant to be tempoary however, for a reason unknown to me, all of 'A's' family HATED Whiskey! I have never been able to workout why this was but apparrently so! Now not only this but the adoption shelter's claimed this 7 year-old cat was too old to be taken in, the next option was euthanasia. Of course we had to take in this poor kitty! how could anyone even think that of an option! So from that day forth he became our family's cat, and what a wonderful cat he was. More than a cat, a family member. He was there for me at time's I thought no one was, somehow he knew the right things to meow at the right times, we all loved him.
Whiskey, I know that a part of grieving is accepting and moving on, I can accept that you are somewhere better and you are feeling better; but I'm unsure if I can ever move on from you. Ever since you were dumped into our house that unfortunate night, I have never had a day where i havent thought about you. I will never forget you Whiskey, none of us could ever imagine to forget you. We will always love you and have you deep in our hearts.
Whiskey
