Lieve Princess                         

       Ik weet nog als de dag van gister dat we je haalde,
jij moest het worden zei Janneke en je naam werd Princess,
omdat ze net een princesje was.
Je groeide voorspoedig op en was een vrolijke poes.
In totaal heb je 12 kinderen gekregen.
Januari dit jaar werd je erg mager en het bleek al snel dat je niertjes niet goed meer werkte,
gelukkig knapte je al snel op met speciaal dieet en medicijnen.

 Je werd weer een vrolijke poes en je woonde heel graag bij Janneke,
je was heel gehecht aan haar.
Helaas ging het de laaste week in ene heel erg snel minder met je,
je wou zelfs niet meer eten en drinken.

 Lieve schat, we hebben je met pijn in ons hart laten gaan,
maar in onze harten zal je altijd aanwezig blijven.

 Rust zacht lieve Princess

My sweet little Princess,

 I still remember the day we got you. I thought your sister was prettier but no,
we got you.
When we got home you were scared and hid under a bed upstairs.
I still feel bad for ignoring your wishes to be left alone by putting you downstairs.
A couple of years you were just another cat in our house and while I loved you like all the other cats,
it wasn't less or more.

Then you started coming along with me to my room.
You slept beside me or under the blanket on the couch.
When I was going upstairs I only had to look in your direction and you were following me.
A couple of year you granted me with your pressence on my room.
I had water and your favorite food here.
I missed you when you got pregnant and had two kittens.
You got sick from it though and you were fixed.
Even if it meant that you couldn't get anymore little ones,
it also meant that I wouldn't have to miss you again.

Then, a half year ago, we discovered that your kidneys weren't working well anymore.
I thought I'd lose you for sure.
Luckily the diet we put you on worked and you gained weight.

And now..
Now you aren't here anymore.

Last week we noticed that you were losing weigth fast.
You weren't eating anymore and drinking very little.
It's with pain in my heart that I rode us to the vet today.
Outside you got scared and more active than you had been this whole week.
I think you knew something was going to happen.

I will never forget how you lied there on the table, l
ike you'd stand up at any time to jump on my lap.
I didn't even notice the transition of you being asleep and being dead...

 I hope you aren't suffering and are happy, wherever your essence is now.
