A Tribute to my baby

Carrot the cat died yesterday, 23 December 2008. He was 17 years old. Carrot was born in Yorkshire, England. He came to live with me when he was just a month old. He was this tiny, playful, orange furry kitty. He was absolutely adorable. He got me at first sight.

He had an interesting personality and attitude. He got spunk. He was a top cat. He adored me to bits and he never bit nor scratched me even when i teased him. Others were afraid of his mighty claws. He was a tough warrior. He was a law unto himself. Carrot did not take teasing very lightly from others. He would find ways to get even. He would put his sick in his enemies' shoes, scratched their precious possessions to bits or the tormentors would find their properties in his litter box. Towards the end, he mellowed a bit and sleeping was his favourite past time. However, he would show his teeth from time to time. Ask the vet, he had scars to prove it. hehehe

Carrot was with me through the good, the bad and the ugly. He taught me about friendship, companionship, unwavering loyalty and unconditional love. There will always be one Carrot the cat. He will be sadly missed. Good bye my darling baby. You were a great cat. I loved you Carrot and I always will.
