Kutty, kind and gentle
by Jessie Krishnan
Kutty came into my life as a little 'black mass of fur' and blossomed into a fine, handsome cat with glossy sheen and deep, soulful eyes. There was never a day when he did not greet me at the door as I came home. There was never a time when he did not shower his unconditional love upon us. For four years, I had the rewarding experience and comfort of his companionship. His antics made me laugh. Now, his memories make me smile and cry. Was it neglect, was it destined? He is now gone forever. Mummy never knew that the window was open, Kutty. And Mummy never knew that you had climbed and fallen. I was so unaware. The piercing regret in me is that I never knew he was hurt, lying there helplessly. When I awoke in the morning, it was too late. I didn't even have time to say goodbye to my dear Kutty. Can you forgive Mummy? We all miss you so much, and pray to God that you are at peace as God's little pet.
