Mom posted “A Dog’s Last Will and Testament” on April 1st, shortly after our anipal friend @PetietheCat had passed away, leaving a wake of sadness in the community and tremendous grieving in his home.
It was suggested I adapt the prose into the words of a Cat, which I have done, and present below. The words are mine, so they don’t fit Petie perfectly, but they’re closer than the dog one. I’m guessing Petie doesn’t have a treasured catnip apple, for example. ; )
Nonetheless, this is what I’d like to leave my Mom and Dad, and what I’m sure Petie would like to leave his…

That’s my sweet Wynnie girl in the photo.
We miss you, Princess!




































OH Cokie! You are making me and Charlie very very weepy!
Such beautiful words – but oh so so so sad!
Take care

This made me teary eyed! It'a absolutely beautiful

Wonderful! Pawesome! That's how we feel happened at our home — that Ryker wanted Mommy & Daddy to have us. We're the beneficiaries of Ryker's last will & testament. Thanks for writing this!
Misty eyed here. That is so beautiful.
Very true. @unchat Particularly the part where I said, I am never going to have a cat again after losing 6 over 20 years. Purl is apparently deaf, because I told her those words when I put her on PetFinder, she decided to give birth anyways.
omd Cokie, how wonderful! Now mom's eyes are leaky, but this is wonderful. Thank you, and what a wonderful tribute to our pal Petie.
Very forward thinking cat! Over half of adults don’t have a will…
