Striper
1987 - 2003
Hiding ‘neath the table
To pounce upon some feet
Freshly laundered black socks
Become a tasty treat.
Mad dash paw steps fleeting
From all ends of the house
Chasing phantom game birds
Or an imaginary mouse
Every lap an invite
To lay his cozy claim
No matter friend or stranger
His purr felt just the same
One stately wise and gray cat
With stripes that gave him name
Our life now here without him
Will never be the same.
We love you Striper. We miss you so much already.
Through all the ups and downs, you were a constant warm & furry love.
Thank you for the sixteen years of memories that you gave us.
