   I would like to share my cat Sidney with all of you. Sidney passed away on December 3, 2007. He was a great friend and a wonderful companion to me. He was a true blessing to my family!

    Sidney had a rare disease of the digestive system that eventually led to his passing - he was only one and a half years old. I got him as a small kitten when he was only six weeks old. My aunt found him underneath a trailer near her mother's rural home and brought him to me because I had been telling her that I really wanted a kitten to love. We bonded instantly and were friends from the moment we met. He would sit with me while I read or work on the computer. He slept with me in bed every night. He followed me around the house everywhere I went. When he was really small, he would even sit in the pocket of my house robe and "ride" while I went around the house doing chores.

    I would even take him to the hospital parking lot and nursing home so that he could cheer up my Grandmother. My grandmother had a brain tumor and lost her ability to speak, but whenever we would take her outside for a stroll and she would see Sidney, she would get the biggest smile and was able to get out a laugh and an "awww" because Sidney would always make the cutest expressions for her.

    Ever since Sidney's untimely passing, I have missed him more than anything in the world. He was so special to me and to my grandmother who passed away as well. I like to think that they are together watching over me.
