A dear friend of mine named Mr. Blues had just passed away about three months ago. He never got to experience the last beautiful days of summer. I met Mr. Blues about a year ago during the summer of 2009. I remembered summer was beginning soon in early June revealing nice warm, cozy, and breezy summer weather forecasted over the beautiful eastside town of Washington. Mr. Blues was very fond of summer weather. Seattle is known for raining most of the year and having short summers. He especially loved rainy days of the beautiful Northwest as well.
I remembered very precious moments and times of taking care of Mr. Blues, his siblings, and his mama Ruby. Mr. Blues was known as the “pack-leader,” “hunter,” and “warrior” out of the group. Mr. Blues is the oldest sibling out of the bunch. He had lost a twin brother years ago whose name Mr. Red was very similar and identical to him. The lost of his twin brother affected him deeply. He had this amazing, special bond with his brother that was so breathtakingly passionate and loving. Mr. Blues has looked after his other siblings by teaching and mentoring them along their “cat lives” together.
Remember a common myth that “cats have nine lives?” In many cultures, this famous myth is still believed to this day that cats do certainly have “nine lives.” This myth is most important because many people believe that cats have this keen sharpness, body swiftness, and sense of balance that keeps them entirely focused to avoid and escape life-threatening situations. Mr. Blues is most definitely one of those special people that have escaped many life-threatening situations such as battling an illness, cuts, scrapes, fights with other creatures, and miraculously surviving after all those brutality. Not only is Mr. Blues a beautiful feline, but a dear, wonderful friend of mine. He has touched my heart in so many ways. Thinking back of all the special moments and times I have spent with him had deeply affected my life in a personal way. I am very proud to have Mr. Blues as part of my life. He is a very strong individual with a special spiritual bond to people closest to him. Mr. Blues undying, compassionate love for others can be truly seen on his face with a beautiful smile of warmth and kindness.
My dear friend, Mr. Blues had emotionally touched my heart and changed my life. In words, he had a strong heart of gold, love, energy, compassion, patience, and enjoyed his freedom running out in the wild forests near his house. His childhood hobbies included hunting, scavenging, picking small fights with his siblings, being playful with the neighbors, and most importantly, touching all the lives of people who have met him. He demonstrated passion, charisma, and love for those who have treated him with respect. His warrior-like attitude reminds me of him fighting in many endless battles trying to fight for freedom and world peace. What is so special about him is the fact that he only has one eye and no tail. He was born 12 years ago with no tail and developed a loss of one eye due to a glaucoma condition. Nursing him back to health was an incredible journey for me. I will always remember those memories. Mr. Blues was an incredible dear and loyal friend of mine. I will always truly remember him in my heart and prayers. Mr. Blues will always be a very special part of my life forever. You will always be remembered and missed deeply. R.I.P. my dear friend.
