A piece of my heart left on March 3rd. 💔 The cat distribution system put this tiny soul into my life over a decade and a half ago. I was doing laundry at the apartment laundromat, and on my way to my car a tiny kitten fearlessly walked over to me. I scooped her into my basket and brought her home.
Jiggs was a tiny tabby with one small orange spot on her forehead. She has been a constant in my life and was a part of my husband's and my biggest milestones. Quietly curled up next to us and sometimes loud demanding food by finding every object that made a sound in our room. Now, the silence is so loud, and her absence is heavily felt.
Even though I brought her home, I always called her my husband's cat. She loved him so much, and their connection was magical to witness. He was her safe place. Her, the little spoon.
We are both grieving this incredible loss. I expect to see her laying in the indent she's created on the sofa. I think of her, and for a split second, I forget. Still, how lucky are we to have so much love for her that it hurts this much to say goodbye. It's not goodbye forever. It's see you sometime. ❤️
