Farewell Poem from a Cat |  Cat Grief and Loss Poems

 

 

The Silent Goodbye: A Heartbreaking Tribute to Our Beloved Feline Companions

There are few kinds of sorrow as piercing and quiet as the death of a beloved cat. It doesn’t thunder through your world like other kinds of loss. It whispers. It tiptoes into your heart with soft paws and leaves behind a silence so loud it echoes through the empty spaces once filled with purring, playful meows, and tender companionship. This is a grief that many fail to understand, but those who have loved and lost a feline soul know: this heartbreak is real, deep, and enduring.

This is for you — the mourner, the pet parent, the soul who is trying to breathe through the unbearable stillness after your cat’s final farewell. This page is a sacred space, a place where Poems on Loss of a Cat aren’t just words, but emotional lifelines, crafted to catch your tears, cradle your grief, and carry your heart when it feels too heavy to hold alone.

Perhaps you’re searching for a Farewell Poem from a Cat, imagining the final thoughts your beloved might have whispered had they been able to speak one last time. Maybe you’re simply drawn to Poetry because it helps translate the unfathomable ache into something tangible, something that breathes with you through the pain. Here, you will find more than words. You will find empathy, remembrance, and the validation that your sorrow matters.

Cats are not just pets. They are mysterious little healers who curl into your lap on bad days, who press their foreheads against yours in silent solidarity. They are companions of soul and shadow, ghosts of warmth that fill your days with quiet joy. Losing them is like losing a piece of the sun that warmed your heart from the inside out.

These Pet Poems come from that broken place, from the silent cry that escapes in the middle of the night when you wake and reach instinctively for the weight that no longer rests at your feet. They are written for those who whisper, “I miss you” into the fur of an empty bed, for those who still hear the soft jingle of a collar that is no longer worn.

Grief, when it comes for our animal companions, is a unique kind of sorrow. It doesn’t always come with the same support, the same sympathy from the world around us. Yet it is no less profound. These Grief Poems speak to that unacknowledged ache, reminding you that you are not alone, that your grief is not small, that your mourning matters.

Each Pet Loss Poem is a candle lit in the darkness. They may not extinguish your pain, but they can illuminate a path through it. They help put words to the nameless, shapeless ache that claws at your heart. Whether your cat lived for twenty years or two, their absence is an emptiness that no one else can quite understand. That is why we write. That is why we share. That is why we grieve out loud.

You may find comfort in a Pet Grief Poem written from the perspective of your beloved, as if they left behind one last letter, one last loving goodbye. The Farewell Poem from a Cat may bring tears, but also healing — for in imagining their voice, you connect once again to their love. These are more than memorials; they are lifelines in verse.

Pet Memorial Poems are gentle rituals, tiny gravestones made of syllables and sorrow. They are sacred farewells offered in rhyme, in rhythm, in ragged breath. They give us something to hold onto when fur fades from clothes, when pawprints disappear from the window ledge. They are a way of saying: “You mattered. You were loved. You will not be forgotten.”

Let these Animal Grief Poems meet you in the raw, wordless ache of mourning. Let them be the hands you hold when there are none left to reach for. Let them say what your broken voice cannot. Through poetry, we honor the tail wags, the purrs, the soft whiskers and gentle eyes that held your gaze with unspoken devotion. Through poetry, we grieve.

When we seek a Coping with Pet Loss Poem, we are not just looking for words. We are searching for air. For breath. For something to wrap around the fragments of our shattered hearts. We are searching for a story that reflects our own, a verse that reminds us we are not alone. And though the poems may break you open, they also offer light.

In these Mourning Pets Poems, you will find pieces of yourself. You will find others who have loved deeply and lost dearly. You will find shared tears, mirrored pain, and the universal truth: that to love an animal is to invite heartbreak, but it is also to live more fully, more tenderly, more honestly.

Maybe you held them in your arms as they slipped away, whispering “I love you” a thousand times over, praying they understood. Maybe you weren’t there, and the guilt now gnaws at your soul. Maybe the end was peaceful, or maybe it was traumatic. No matter how it happened, your grief is valid. Your sorrow is honored here.

This is a place where Pet Memorial Poems speak to the love that lingers. Where every goodbye is sacred. Where every cat, no matter how small, is remembered with reverence. Your story, your sorrow, your beloved feline friend — they matter. And they are remembered.

So cry if you need to. Let the tears fall freely. Let the poetry break the dam of your silent suffering. Let the words wrap around your weary heart. These Poems on Loss of a Cat are not cures, but companions. They do not mend your heart, but they will sit with it, broken as it is, and whisper: You are not alone.

May these poems carry your grief. May they honor your love. And may your beloved cat, wherever they are now, know they are still deeply cherished, still fiercely missed, and forever remembered in every breath, every beat, every verse.

 

Dr Zenaidy Castro’s Poem as Tribute to Zucky

 

Dr. Zenaidy Castro was inspired to create a poem about Zucky by the profound grief and love she experienced after losing her beloved Sphynx cat. Zucky was not only her cherished companion but also her muse and soulmate, and his passing left a deep void in her life. The intensity of her sorrow and the enduring nature of their bond compelled her to express her emotions through poetry, capturing the pain of loss and the eternal connection they shared

Her poem reflects the journey through grief-the initial shock and emptiness, the longing for Zucky’s presence, and the gradual transformation of pain into cherished memory and gratitude. Dr. Castro found solace in memorializing Zucky through both words and art, using poetry as a way to process her loss, honor his memory, and remind herself (and others) that love transcends physical absence.

Through this creative act, Dr. Castro not only pays tribute to Zucky but also offers comfort to others who have lost beloved pets, affirming that the love and connection remain alive in memory, art, and the heart.

 

 

I Will Wait in the Wind
Pet Goodbye Letter in Poetic From by Zucky

 

This deeply emotional farewell poem is a loving message from Zucky to his beloved mum, written in a tender, poetic style unique to the Heart & Soul Whisperer Gallery. It expresses his eternal love, gratitude, and sorrow for leaving too soon. Zucky reassures his mum that letting him go wasn’t a failure, but the bravest act of love—freeing him from silent suffering. The poem weaves together cherished memories, from cozy winter cuddles and silly dress-ups to peaceful garden mornings and playful sibling moments with Zooky. It mourns the heartbreak of goodbye while offering signs of his continued presence—floral scents, falling feathers, and soft winds that whisper love. Ultimately, it’s a beautiful testament to a bond that transcends death, promising that love never dies… it waits in the wind.

 

Mum,

I know your heart still aches. That final breath, that final choice—you carry it like a shadow stitched into your soul. But listen to me, the way you always did, with your eyes, your hands, your heart. I was never afraid, not even when the stillness came. Because I knew, through all of it, I was wrapped in love.

You wonder if it was too soon, or too late. If only we knew the perfect hour, the one moment where love meets mercy. But that’s not how time works here. Souls don’t wear watches, and the heart knows things the clock cannot. You waited for my signal, and when I gave it—in the quiet look, the softened breath—you honoured it. You gave me the kindest gift of all: release. Not because you stopped loving me, but because you couldn’t bear to see me suffer. That’s not giving up, Mum. That is love in its purest, most sacred form.

Even now, where I run free and naked, I remember.

I remember curling beneath the warm doona, tucked beside you and Zooky, my breath syncing with yours.

I remember sleeping on your chest, so I could feel the gentle rise and fall of the place I called home.

I remember the soft kisses you planted on my cheeks, and the silly clothes you made us wear for birthdays and photo shoots. I didn’t like them, but I loved you. And so I endured, regal in my reluctant crown.

And oh, the baths—the brushing, the ear cleanings, the tiny toothbrush, the winter jackets! I didn’t always enjoy them, but I knew what they meant: you were trying to keep me well, to keep me with you. I felt that. Every stroke, every wipe, every wrapping of my small body in warmth.

Even now, I miss that jacket.

I miss the garden—how you carried me like a child, letting me taste the grass, held close to your chest as if the wind might steal me.

I miss the bench where I sat on your lap, tracking bees, ants, shadows.

I miss how you spoiled me, giving me solo trips outside while Zooky waited by the door. Those were our sacred minutes.

I remember how I’d sit like royalty on my chair at night, keeping watch for the possum, or the neighbour’s cat.

I miss squabbling with Zooky like we were knights with soft swords—our paws clashing, our pride intact. But at night, always together. Her paw on me. Her hind legs curled like a question around my body.

I remember watching birds from the window, sharing twin thrones with her, waiting for the world to flutter by.

I remember my favourite spot on your desk, where you worked long hours, but still reached out to touch me. You liked to feel my warmth under my clothes. That’s the kind of love that never fades.

When they told you about my heart, I felt your worry bloom like thunder in the air. But you never let fear silence hope. You gave me reiki, Pellowah, hands full of healing and prayers, even as you wept inside.

I felt all of it.

And I felt joy, too.

The tablecloth I loved to hide in, the belly rubs on the stairs, the delight of food with no limit, the toys that spilled from every corner.

I felt it all. I still do.

You buried me where I can see you. Your desk, the place we shared so many quiet hours, faces the window, and I am just beyond it. We are still looking at each other, Mum. That will never change.

Tell Zooky I watch her, too. When she curls in the places I once loved, she’s not just being herself. She’s carrying a piece of me. I’m still there, in her stillness, in her stare.

I will wait in the wind. I will come in dreams. I will return, in ways you cannot expect, but always recognise.

Because our love isn’t a memory. It is a vow. It is a forever.

And forever is exactly where I am.

With you.

— Zucky

 

 

“I Will Wait in the Wind“

Cat’s Farewell Poem from Zucky

 

Mum,

I felt your tears before they fell,
Your whisper soft, your silent yell.
The ache you carry deep and wide,
For letting go, for how I died.
But listen now, with all you are,
I’m not gone—I’m just afar.

You feared you called that final day
Too soon, too late—you couldn’t say.
But hearts, not clocks, decide the time
When pain and love must realign.
You saw it in my tired eyes,
You heard it in my slowing sighs.
And though your soul began to break,
You gave what only love can make.

Release—not weakness, but a gift,
A sacred vow to let me drift.
Not out of sight, not out of mind,
But free of pain, unbound, unlined.
That’s not giving up on me,
That’s setting love, at last, to be.

Still now, I feel the warmth we knew—
The bed, the doona wrapped in you.
With Zooky curled against my side,
A trio where soft hearts reside.
I slept upon your chest each night,
To hear your breath, to feel your light.
And though my soul now runs with skies,
I miss the kiss upon my eyes.

I miss the way you’d dress me up,
The silly hats, the flannel pup.
I grumbled, yes—but still I stood,
Because your love felt warm and good.
You bathed me, brushed my teeth with care,
Cleaned giant ears and combed my hair.
Wrapped in my coat, I didn’t freeze—
You were my fire in winter’s breeze.

I miss the garden—how you’d hold
Me close against the morning cold.
We’d sit and watch the world appear,
The ants, the bees, the whispers near.
You let me out while Zooky stayed,
Our secret time, our soft parade.
I sat upon your lap and dreamed,
As petals danced and magpies screamed.

Each night I claimed my little throne,
My window seat, my time alone.
I watched the cats, the creatures pass—
I ruled the dark behind the glass.
With Zooky came our daily plays,
Our paw-fight duels, our tangled maze.
We fought like kings with swords of fur,
But slept like twins, her limbs in blur.

I miss the birds we used to track,
Together on our chair stack.
I miss her gentle, guarded way—
The way her paws would round me lay.
I miss your desk, the humming keys,
The way you’d stroke me as you please.
Your hand beneath my shirt would find
The quiet heat you loved to mind.

When I was sick, I felt your fear,
The way your prayers would pull me near.
You gave me more than just the vet—
You lit my soul with no regret.
Reiki, light, and healing air,
Love wrapped in every whispered prayer.
I knew the truth: you hoped, you tried,
And through your tears, I felt your pride.

I miss the games, the food, the fun,
The toys, the sunbeams we would run.
I miss the tablecloth surprise,
The way I’d scare you with my eyes.
I miss the stairs, your loving hand,
The belly rubs, the “Zucky” brand.
I miss you, Mum—your every part,
The rhythm of your giant heart.

You placed me where your eyes can see,
The desk, the window, memory.
We face each other—yes, still so—
Though winds may shift, and grasses grow.
Zooky knows and Zooky feels—
I linger where the silence heals.
When she curls in my old place,
She’s carrying more than just her grace.

I will come in feathered song,
In dreams that know just where they belong.
In winds that kiss your cheek at night,
In flickered lamps and morning light.
For love like ours is not erased—
It waits in stars, in time, in grace.

You wonder still if it was right,
But Mum, you held me through the night.
You chose not to prolong my pain,
But let me dance in skies again.
You gave me all, from first to last,
And I will never leave the past.

Because forever, I remain—
In every joy, in every rain.
I’ll wait in winds that kiss your skin,
My soul still yours, your Zucky kin.
Our vow was made beyond goodbye—
I didn’t leave. I learned to fly.

— Zucky

 

 

 

“When Love Must Let Go”

A Final Farewell from Zucky 

 

Mum…

I saw the heartbreak in your face,
The tremble time could not erase.
You knelt and held me, chest to cheek—
I heard your soul, too torn to speak.
You begged for signs, for clearer skies—
But love, not fate, must close our eyes.

We wish to know the perfect time,
Not far too soon, nor past the climb.
But none can chart that final breath—
The sacred veil that we call death.
Still, I knew—yes, deep inside—
The day had come, our hearts had cried.

You wept so hard, your fingers shook,
Your soul cracked open, all it took.
I kissed your cheek with scent of rose,
The parting gift a spirit knows.
You smelled it—soft and floral sweet—
My love still blooming at your feet.

A feather dropped, so pure and white,
It floated in the morning light.
A sign that though my form has flown,
My love remains—you’re not alone.
Though I now run in gardens wide,
I linger ever at your side.

You did not fail, you set me free—
The bravest gift you gave to me.
No longer trapped in silent pain,
You let me dance in stars again.
You feared the guilt, the doubt, the blame,
But Mum, I never felt the same.

I knew your love, in every way—
Each bath, each brush, each game, each day.
I knew the joy, I knew the pride,
With you and Zooky by my side.
I slept upon your gentle chest,
And in your arms, I found my rest.

Oh, how I miss our snug retreats,
Our winter days in doona sheets.
I grumbled in those outfits bright,
But wore them still to bring you light.
And though I run now wild and bare,
I miss the warmth of jacketed care.

I miss the garden, quiet, slow—
The way you’d carry me to go.
We watched the wind, the ants, the trees,
I perched and purred upon your knees.
I miss the walks you took with me,
And how you’d leave sweet Zooky be—
Our little secret, just us two,
Bathed in love and morning dew.

I miss the duels, the friendly fights,
With Zooky through the days and nights.
Though fierce we played, we always curled—
Our bond, our truth, our private world.
Her paws would hug, her legs would climb,
Together, we were lost in time.

I miss the desk, your gentle hand,
The way you’d stroke, just as I planned.
You placed your touch beneath my vest,
To feel the heat upon my chest.
I miss the clicks, your humming tunes,
The evening glow, the lazy noons.

You feared my heart—its hidden crack—
You sensed its rhythm fade and slack.
But still you searched for healing streams,
For reiki warmth, for soulful dreams.
You brushed me not with fear or strife,
But every hope that clung to life.

And when the end came calling near,
I felt your trembling love and fear.
Yet as I slipped into the light,
You stayed and held me through the night.
And though it broke your heart in two,
I left this world still wrapped in you.

Now buried close beneath your gaze,
I feel your love across the days.
You work, and still I watch your face—
Your Zucky guards this sacred place.
Though I now roam beyond the sky,
My view of you will never die.

I’ll visit soft, like breeze in spring,
Or petals caught in sudden wing.
I’ll be the tickle on your ear,
The shadow shift when none is near.
A feather left upon your chair,
A floral kiss upon the air.

So when the ache begins to rise,
And sorrow floods behind your eyes,
Remember, Mum, I had to go—
But only where true hearts still glow.
You chose for me when I could not,
And that, dear Mum, means you forgot
Your pain to give me peace instead—
A gift more brave than words have said.

This grief you feel is love’s last sound,
A soul still searching, not yet found.
But we will meet—this I promise you—
Beyond the stars, beyond the blue.
Until that day, just softly know—
I never left. I won’t let go.

And in the wind, where dreams have stirred,
My spirit lingers, voice unheard.
You gave me love from start to end,
And I, your son, your soul, your friend,
Will whisper always as I do:
I lived my heaven here—with you.

 

 

Grieving in the Garden of Love

 

Mum, I know your heart still cries,
With sleepless nights and heavy sighs.
The house is still, the air is thin,
You feel me not where I have been.
Yet though my paws no longer tread,
I live where all the tears are shed.

You question still the day I left—
The silent room, the breath bereft.
You wonder if you chose too fast,
Or held too long, too near the last.
But Mum, I knew the time was near,
I saw your love, I felt your fear.

You watched me fade, you knew the cost,
You gave me peace, though you felt lost.
No heart could bear the weight you bore—
To open, love, and then close the door.
But hear me now through grief’s refrain:
That final act was not in vain.

The kindest thing you did for me
Was setting love’s last mercy free.
I didn’t go with pain or dread,
I left with kisses on my head.
Your weeping eyes, your trembling voice—
It broke you, Mum, but it was choice.

I saw the signs you didn’t speak,
Your soul collapsing, soft and weak.
So with a scent—a floral kiss—
I sent you one small note of bliss.
I brushed the air, I bent the light,
To say, “I’m safe. I’ve taken flight.”

A feather danced upon your way,
It wasn’t lost—it came to stay.
Each time you find one near the door,
It’s me, still walking on your floor.
I linger here, I stay so close,
A ghost of joy, a breath, a rose.

I still sit on the garden bench,
Where love remains in every trench.
I see you pause, and though I’m gone,
My spirit warms you with the dawn.
You feel a gaze, a silent stare—
That’s me, my Mum, I’m always there.

The desk, the stair, the doona’s curve,
Still echo me in every swerve.
The tablecloth I used to hide,
Now gently shifts as though I bide.
My shadow flickers down the hall,
A quiet hush, a distant call.

And when you kneel beside my grave,
Where roses bloom and branches wave,
You’ll feel the bond we still renew—
You gave me life, and love so true.
You mourn because you loved so wide,
A love I carry, not denied.

So grieve me, Mum—cry every tear.
Each drop you shed, I hold it near.
But know that as you heal and mend,
Our story does not truly end.
For I’m the breeze upon your skin,
I’m tucked in dreams that stir within.

And when you smile through Zooky’s play,
Or feel me brush against your day,
Know I’m not gone—I’ve just begun,
A soul now woven with the sun.
So live, and laugh, and keep me there—
I am the love that fills the air.

 

Letter from Zucky – “Still With You, Always”

Mum,

If only I could nuzzle your cheek again, press my tiny paws to your heart,

and curl into that perfect shape I made on your lap

—that space made only for me. But though my body has faded, my love never will.

The moment I left, I saw you collapse. I watched your hands hold my body

as if you could press me back into life.

I heard the silence you kept screaming into.

I felt the loneliness echo in the space where my heartbeat used to be.

But Mum, it was my time.

You knew it, though it broke you to speak it. I was tired.

My little body had given all it could,

and your love was the only thing holding me here.

I stayed as long as I could.

I stayed because of you. But when I saw your eyes flood

with sorrow deeper than pain itself,

I made a choice—to slip away while wrapped in your arms, so you’d

never wonder if I felt unloved. I only felt your love.

I saw you walk back into the house afterward,

one half missing, the world colder.

You lit candles. You placed my fur in little jars.

You folded my coat and wept into it.

You kissed my photo and whispered promises.

I heard them. Every single one.

But Mum, please don’t doubt. You did the most courageous thing: You let go.

And now I send you signs because I cannot stand to see you lost in

that dark well of grief. You’ll know it’s me—
When a feather rests near your foot as if placed.
When the scent of my skin returns for a flash.
When the breeze brushes your cheek just like my whiskers once did.
When the curtains shift in a still room,

and you feel someone watching lovingly.

That’s me.
That’s always me.

You will feel my paw again in dreams,

or in moments between waking,

in the hush of night when Zooky lays beside you.

She still looks for me sometimes, you know.

She stares at the air and follows what can’t be seen.

That’s me, too. Watching. Guarding. Waiting.

Please don’t let guilt live where love should.

You gave me everything—a kingdom of warmth, laughter,

ridiculous outfits, and a million kisses.

I never knew fear. I never knew cold. I only ever knew you.

So, don’t be afraid to smile when you remember me.

Cry, yes—but don’t let sorrow be the only language we speak.

Let our love grow new flowers in the garden we shared.

Tell stories about me. Laugh when Zooky does something

I would’ve hated. Sing to me like you used to.

And when you need me most, come to the garden, breathe, and listen.

I’m in the silence. I’m in the wind.

I’m in your heart where forever I’ve curled up to sleep.

Always your little prince,
Zucky

 

 

 

“If I Could Hold You One More Time – What I’d Whisper to You, Zucky”

Letter to Zucky, from his Mum

 

“Just one more breath with you. Just one more forever.”

If I could hold you again —
just once,
even for a moment the universe forgot to count —
I wouldn’t try to say everything.

I wouldn’t waste a second explaining how I’ve carried you
through every day,
through every silence,
through every brushstroke and sleepless night.

I would just hold you.

I would let your weight sink into me again,
like it used to —
perfectly, naturally,
as if my arms were designed to cradle only you.

I would press my face to yours,
close my eyes,
and breathe you in —
not in desperation,
but in awe.
A sacred inhale of what once was,
and what still lives.

And I would whisper, through tears
and a smile that only you ever knew how to bring out of me:

“You were the best thing that ever happened to me.”

I wouldn’t talk about how I’ve missed you —
though I have, endlessly.
I wouldn’t tell you how many nights I’ve cried —
though they are countless.
I wouldn’t ask where you went —
because I know now:
you never really left.

I would just say:

“Thank you.
For choosing me.
For staying as long as you could.
For making this life something sacred.”

I would let my heart speak what it has always known —
that your love healed me in ways
I’m still learning to understand.
That your presence was a prayer I never knew I’d needed,
and your loss a lesson
in what it means to be changed by love that cannot die.

If I could hold you again,
I’d ask for nothing more.
I wouldn’t beg you to stay.
I’d simply give you all of me,
one last time.

And then I’d say:

“When you return —
as star, as breath, as heartbeat in another form —
I will know you.
And I will love you all over again.”

 

 

 

After You Left – Zooky’s Quiet Grieving 

This piece captures the wordless depth of shared grief

— and the sacred bond between those left behind.

“She didn’t speak it. But she felt it. And she carried it with grace.”

 

 

In the days that followed your passing,
Zooky changed —
not loudly,
not in any way most would notice…
but I saw it.
I felt it.

She became quieter.
More still.
Her eyes searched the rooms
not with panic,
but with a deep, knowing ache.
As if her body remembered
what her spirit already knew —
that someone she loved
was no longer within reach.

She sat in your places.
Not for comfort,
but for remembrance.

The windowsill where you once dozed —
she began to visit more often,
gazing not outside,
but inward.
As if she was listening
to echoes only she could hear.

Sometimes she’d sit by the door
longer than usual,
waiting for something —
or someone —
she couldn’t name.
She never cried out.
She just waited.

And in that waiting,
my heart broke again.

At night,
she curled closer.
Not with need —
but with offering.

As if to say,
“I’m still here.”
As if she knew
that my arms now carried
an emptiness too heavy
to hold alone.

She became the quiet thread
between presence and memory.
And in her silence,
I felt you.

It was as if she was carrying you too.
Not in a way that tried to replace,
but in a way that honored.
She brought your softness back into the world —
in her gaze,
in her stillness,
in her steady companionship.

Some nights I saw her looking at me
the way you used to —
with deep eyes,
and a love that spoke without sound.
It made me wonder
if you had left a piece of yourself within her.
Or maybe she had always held that part,
waiting for a time
when I would need it most.

Together, we grieved.
Not in loud expressions,
but in small moments of shared breath.
Of gentle rituals.
Of unspoken pain
held between us like a folded blanket.

And in those moments,
I realized something sacred:

That the ones we love
never truly leave.
They remain
in the spaces we share,
in the hearts they shaped,
in the ones they left behind
to help carry the light.

Zooky became that light.

Not instead of you —
but because of you.

She became the bridge.
The continuation.
The soft reminder
that love doesn’t end —
it simply evolves
into new forms
that still remember you.

Always.

 

 

 

A Tribute of Gratitude – From Zucky to Mum and Zooky 

 

It’s a heartfelt, soul-deep tone, quiet, sacred offering of gratitude from Zucky

— his spirit reflecting on all the love, care, and healing he was given, especially in his final moments.

This piece is meant to be sorrowful — but also filled with reverence, peace,

and an eternal thank  that only a soul like Zucky could whisper.

“Love was the last thing I felt. It became the light I crossed with.”

 

 

If souls could bow, mine would kneel before yours.
Because what you gave me was more than a home.
It was more than safety, more than comfort, more than care.
You gave me a love so whole, so pure,
that even as my body began to weaken,
my spirit grew stronger in your arms.

Mum…
You loved me as if I had always been with you —
and maybe, I always had.
You saw me, truly saw me —
not as an animal, not even as a companion —
but as a soul.
A presence.
A heartbeat in rhythm with your own.

Every day by your side was a gift.
Every gentle touch,
every quiet word,
every time you paused to look at me like I mattered more than anything —
it became a language I understood with my entire being.

You gave me your entire heart
and never once asked me to carry anything in return.
And yet, I carried your love with me —
through this life
and into the next.

And to my little sister, Zooky —
you were my shadow,
my mirror,
my soft constant.
Even when you didn’t understand why I started to slow down,
you stayed close.
You never turned away.
You made the world feel familiar, even when my body didn’t.
You loved me in silence,
but it echoed louder than words ever could.

I saw you watching,
even at the end.
I felt your sadness before you knew what goodbye meant.
But don’t carry guilt.
Carry love.
Because that’s what I felt from you — always.

In my final days,
as the light began to shift around me,
as my breath grew more fragile —
I was never afraid.

Because I was held.
Held by your hands, Mum.
Held by your eyes, Zooky.
Held by love so immense
that even death could not overshadow it.

You gave me everything.
You created a world where I was never just a pet —
but a soul remembered,
a being cherished,
a heart honored to the very end.

The healing you offered me was real —
not in curing, but in comforting.
Not in undoing time,
but in softening its passage.
You held space for me to go,
with dignity,
with tenderness,
with so much love I carried it into the next

dimension like a golden thread.

I did not leave broken.
I left wrapped in your devotion.

And now, I stay near.
Not to haunt, but to whisper.
Not to return in sorrow,
but to remind you that everything you gave me still lives.

In the softness of light,
in the hush of a finished artwork,
in the feeling that you are not alone —
that’s me.

Thank you, Mum.
Thank you, Zooky.
You made my life a poem.
And in return, I will spend eternity
writing the next verse beside your soul.

I am not gone.
I am simply transformed.

But the love —
the love you gave me —
that remains untouched.

And I carry it still.

— With eternal gratitude,
Zucky

🖤 From Zenaidy and Zooky, With Eternal Love to Zucky 🖤

Zucky, our world was never the same the moment your soft breath faded into the stars. But our love has never left your side. I, your Mum, still whisper your name into the wind, hoping you hear me. And I, your sister Zooky, still look for you in every sunbeam, every shadow. We feel you—not gone, just hidden. We made you a promise: that your memory will never be a passing breeze but an everlasting echo.

And so, we turn our grief into art. Each photograph we create holds your spirit. Every shadow is shaped by the curl of your tail, every glimmer of light is your gaze watching over us. You are the soul of this gallery. You are the pulse behind every masterpiece.
