He was the coolest

I wanted to share some memories of Shadow. He really was the coolest cat EVER. He was a cat for sure but I always said that he was borderline dog; he loved for his belly to be rubbed and would fall over as soon as you walked in the door. He'd always pull himself across the floor, flippin' over here and there to enjoy the belly rub more. He was awesome.

I had Shadow through middle school, high school, college, and marriage. He saw a lot with me and was there for me one hundred percent. When I had my own apartment (only once in my entire life did I actually live alone) Shadow was my roomie and we had a frikin' blast. I would come home and flip him over in my arms and rub his belly. Then I would drape him over my shoulder and we'd dance to my favorite album; he would just chill and dance with me. Awesome...

He started standing up to see us when we came home; he would stand up as we went to pet him like he just couldn't wait another second. It was so sweet. He also slept at the bottom of my bed for forever. It didn't matter, come hell or high water, he was going to be at the bottom of that bed.

He was just as cool when it was time to send him off to heaven; he sat on my lap the whole car ride there and just looked out the windows and purred. He was cremated and the vet gave us a sweet memento with his paw print. He went out in style.

He was and still is the coolest. =)
