My Pet Cat

Friendship – Possibly Impossible

She makes me happy and joyous. I feel at ease with her as she understands me. She makes me feel loved. I believe that she makes me feel complete and free from tensions and displeasure of the human world. It may be the fact that she’s an animal, and not a human, but she is my best friend.

Sometimes I get exhausted. I feel like distancing myself from everyone which happens very often. It’s not really easy to go on in life without any motivation or reassurance. Most of the times I feel lost, I feel trapped and I have no one to talk to or go to. Even when I do have someone to talk, I greatly fear judgement. When I feel like this, I take refuge from that judgmental scare and search her company. I talk to her, I play with her, I stroke her, or I simply just sit in silence next to her.

My pet cat has eyes like burning amber. Her fur has all the colors of a golden moon. Her body moves with elegant grace. She walks the quietest walk. She meows the most hushed meows. Her name, so simple yet so great. Her name represents the great blessing we have, the Moon. Luna is the name of my pet cat.

I got her from my best friend who moved away permanently. I was indeed heartbroken at my friend’s departure, but I don’t mind it anymore. As I do have Luna, a sign of friendship. The memories we made were unforgettable. Luna was just a small kitten at the time. She was gifted to me on her last day here. Luna holds more memories than anything. More than a letter, a drawing or a song. I remember how we used to bring Luna up to her room and we used to sit around. I miss her, but I won’t forget her. Luna will always be there to fill in for my best friend. When I had no one to talk to, when I felt upset, when I gave up, she was there, now she’s gone.

I am very thankful to have Luna. She may be an animal, but I love her more than any actual person. In this cruel world, you should know, not everyone stays, not everyone loves forever. But what I do know is, Luna will always be there, along with my soul mate, Khadija. Luna will never abandon me or my feelings like any other person would.

I may walk the world alone, but I walk the world alone with her.
