Misha
I first met her 11 years ago on my 10th birthday at happy cat haven... She was 8 months old hiding in a basket on the top shelf and only left the basket late at night for food and the catbox... she was abused before she got to happy cat haven resulting in her having her tail broken 4 times around the same spot which made her overly distrustful of humans...before I met her she was deemed "unadoptable" when I first met her I looked up to a shelf just within my reach to see a tiny beautiful charcoal colored cat with large green eyes look over her basket at me... scared but curious... I reached up and let her and after a minute or two I picked her up out of her basket... not knowing how to carry a cat I went with the only "carrying reference" I had! old movies... I held her like a baby on her back cradled in my arms... she never struggled and actually started to purr... I brought her to my Ma who was talking with Ms Violet the owner of happy cat haven who was stunned that I could carry this cat and that she purred for me... I was allowed to adopt her then and we kept her name... Misha... it's been 11 years + 5 days since I met this little furball and we've had so many little adventures! One time when Ma and I went on a road trip for a day or two we came back to something crazy! A WASP nest and all it's accompanying wasps were all found dead... in the toilet... a few months before we discovered that Misha knew where "sh*t" went and she went to work catching spiders all winter and dropping their corpses in the toilet... now to find out that she did it to wasps? Ma and I were crying with laughter! Another time my dad decided Misha needed to cool down so he took Misha and put her on a boogie board in the middle of our old 15-30 pool! She was NOT impressed with him... but after seeing me come out to the pool she lunged off the board and swam to me at the ladder!... she hated being wet but the cuddles while being wrapped in a blanket were really great as far as she was concerned! Once she snuck out of the house (she was a strict indoors cat) and she went up our yellow plum tree! It took quite abit of coaxing to get her down but after that in summertime we would let her go outside a little! She loved to sit on the back wooden step that went to the backyard that was right underneath the yellow plum tree... Misha made it habit after the first night I let her sleep in my bed...that she would only sleep cuddled up with me in my arms like a baby...and that's been the routine for the last 11 years... she purred for me cuddled with me and comforted me during storms... she was a perfect therapy cat that any Autistic girl could ever have and I'm so lucky that she was mine... I love you Misha and I'll always love you and I wish now was not your time but as my Ma promised me this I'll promise you here I'll not leave you behind! Misha we're going on a drive tomorrow back to where you know as "home" where that Yellow Plum tree where you climbed up it long ago will be where you'll be buried back home on the family home that home we should've NEVER left ... gramma will take care of you while we're gone back here in Lillooet... I don't want to leave you... I love you so much! But I refuse to leave you here! You fought to stay strong! You fought Feline Herpies... you fought Oculatory Cancer... you fought a kidney infection... all within a few short months of each other... and you did it purring and cuddling like you always did! Your a real little warrior and your going home and I promise you that I'll join you back on that property soon! Whether I have to give up Christmas and Birthdays and any holidays I'll leave this bad place and come home with Ma so we can all be together again as a family!

So sleep easy my tiny girl... we're going to be home together again... your not alone... and thank you...

Thank you for comforting me when I was down

Thank you for staying with me when I was sick

Thank you for not ripping off my face when I put you in little clothes when I was younger

Thank you for making my lucky day into Friday the 13th when you gave me your first cat kissy on that day before school all those years ago

Thank you for staying with my Ma and being her nurse while she was sick off and on for over 6 months... Ma really appreciated that!

Thank you for being the best therapy cat that I've ever had!

Thank you for accepting me that day at happy cat haven!

We'll miss you!... we love you!

Goodbye Misha...may your love reach out to other Autistic people who need it as much as I needed it!

If I could have just one wish I would...go back to where we were... back it time ..so I could sing once again to you.......please meet me at our favorite plum tree

Thank you
