I must start by telling you that a few years ago two cats entered my life: a gray and a black one. They loved me and taught me how to understand them and loved them back. They sat in my lap and kept me company while working in my computer. They played with each other and I played with them. Sometimes I scolded them because they seemed to be fighting but they were really playing, They slept together side by side during the day (Cats spend most of the day sleeping and part of the night). They cleaned each other. Don't you think all between them was perfect: the male cat used to chase away the female cat so that he could eat her food. But beside that, they got along very well. they spent 14 years together. A lifetime from a cat perspective!
Two months ago, the female cat passed away. She had a kidney disease. We saw her deteriorating until the day we decided to put her to sleep to prevent her for further suffering. Since then, the male cat has become weepy. Today in the morning, before leaving for work, I found him under the blankets of my bed as if he was hiding from something. I guess he was hiding from a sad reality: that his female partner is gone and that he miss her a lot. I miss her too.
( To Sombra, our dearest black cat)
