My hubby wrote this poem in Thumper's honor

For Thumper

You would snuggle on my arm
as I laid on the bed;
whacking me with your tail
while I stroked your auburn fur.
You would purr quietly
with your eyes staring into mine;
listening to me as I talked to you
like a father to a child.

You would jump upon the sink
and ask me to turn on the faucet;
lapping water with your eager tongue,
drinking until you had your fill.
Stretched out where the sun appeared,
you would sleep for hours;
enjoying the simple pleasures
life gave you every day.

I miss you so much Thumper,
but I know it’s for the best.
Cancer took its toll on you
yet, you fought him long and hard.
Now you are in Heaven,
and your body is made whole again.
I’ll always remember you my Thumper cat,
until we see each other once more.
