Miko was adopted from a shelter along with his sister, Missy. They were very young and afraid. I knew that I could give them a loving home. Miko was quite the character, he love Cheese Nips. Every morning I would get up and find he had been eating his cheese nips. He was my snacker. He gave me such joy everyday. I never knew I would only have him for 4 years. It has only been about 2 weeks, and it seems like yesterday still. I try and get through the days, but so many things remind me of him. He was the cat who made all the noise in my house, now it's too quiet. Don't ever take them for granted, as you never know how long they'll be with you. I put together a photo album of all his pictures, and some of his favorite things. Now we pray that Missy will stay with us for a long time. They both have Cardiomyopathy. Missy will be on pills for the rest of her life. Miko passed away in my daughter's bedroom. He was having a great day, and everything was normal. He never knew, nor did we, that would be his last day with us. My heart is so broken, and I try to think of the good times, and I know that one day I will see you again. I hope Miko you know we will never forget you. We will continue to love all those unwanted furbabies people leave behind shelters, or throw away. We will always love you, forever. ALways and Forever, Cheryl, Stephanie & Emily
