Tag-a-long's note

So, here I am just filling this blog with things I wrote before, but, this is for Shelly. When Shelly's cat, Tag-a-long, was dying last year I had a note running through my head of what he would have said to her if he could. I typed it all out and thought it was better to give it to her before he died. I know some people don't really "get" having pets, especially cats because they are so independent. Tag-a-long was a different sort of kitty. That cat would come when she called him and stayed by her. He was timid of strangers and only sat with me a handful of times. He was small, poufy and had low lying ears that reminded me of Yoda. Even his little cat noises were different. Mainly, he was with Shelly through every event that happened to her in her adult life. How can she deal with loosing him when most people will just pass it off as a pet dying?
This is what he had to say to her, (note: runny nose guy is Shelly's fiance who is allergic to cats)

You were there for me when I was tiny and only had a box as a home.
You were there to feed me and keep me warm, so I could grow.
You made me feel special with all the sweet things you say, in that voice I know is only for me.
I was there when you felt sad, or hurt, I slept as close as I could.
I was there to tame that giant dog, I was here first!
I was there when we moved houses, over and over.
I was there when you felt sick, stressed, I slept closer and closer.
I was there when my wild little brother came home one day.
I let little brother stay, but I was here first.
You were there for me when my adventure over the balcony went all wrong.
You searched for me and found me, I knew you would.
You cleaned me up and made me warm again.
I was there when we moved, and moved.
I was there when it was just you, me and brother.
I slept even closer.
I was there when you were happy , really happy.
I was there to meet the guy with the runny nose; Is this what makes you happy?
I was here first.
You were there for me when we moved AGAIN to the biggest house I have ever seen!
You were there to make me feel safe in this new place.
I was there to make you feel safe in this new place.
I was there for you when you were happy.
I was there when you brought home that dog, that’s all I have to say about him.
You were there to make that dog be nice to me,
I was here first
I was there when you brought home that other dog. She makes the other one seem like a genius.
You were there to make her be nice to me, too.
You were there when I didn’t feel very good.
You were there for little brother when he didn’t feel good.
I was there when you were so, so sad.
I’ve been there for you and you have been there for me.
I wouldn’t feel good leaving you in this place if you weren’t happy, and I know you are. I know that runny nose guy makes you happy and I can tell you are healthy
I think this is the best we have ever been and that you will be fine. I couldn’t leave you unless I knew this.I’ll always be with you, I will always tag along
