Cats leave paw prints not just on my heart but my soul

Over the past 29 years I've lived I've always had cats in my life. 
Smudge, Tammy , Sam-wise , Rusty, Poppy , Dizzy, Gilmore ,Spike, Sookie , Minion, Minnie, Spot, Lightning and Flash. 
All these cats came to us one away or another they were either abandoned or neglected and made their way into our hearts and our home. 

In recent times the one's who captured my heart were Minnie's Children. Spike, Sookie and Minion. They were feral born but we managed to catch them and raise them to domesticated kitties. 
Minion we managed to get re-home, Spikey  personally adopted and Sookie my parents adopted. 

Spike and Sookie aged 4/5 months

Sadly Both Spike and Sookie died with months of each other. Spike passed away of a heart attack on the 17th March and Sookie passed away on the 23rd October 2015 which I don't know what she died of. 

Sookie and Spike I saw as my children as I raised them, so losing both my children aged 3 hurts me, but I have such wonderful memories of when they were alive and I have plenty of photos of them too. Someday I do want to make a scrapbook of them. 

Minnie their mother she's very timid she sleeps and eats in the dining room and has her own little chair, but she's got a happy home now and loved. 

If you love something or someone don't let them go. Even if they have fur or no fur, everything still has a heart and a soul. Everything still deserves to be loved.

My heart will always have a space for a cat as they are loving unconditionally and they don't judge or view you in ways other humans do. Cats only ask for love and companionship in return as well as a place to live and food too.

My heart is the shape of a cat's paw print as so many cat's have touched it and left their own little mark. 

This goes out to all the people who have loved and lost their own Cats.
