A New Life With A New Friend

By Gizmo and Taurus

My name is Cleo with a sad story to tell. I lost my best friend and sibling, Lucky, to illness this past year. I miss her very much. We were very close and spent all of our time together. Lucky and I would always share our toys, food, and even our favorite beds!

These days I just mope around missing Lucky. I see my other friends playing with their siblings and I feel very alone and lost. I have been taking lots of walks lately and going all over the neighborhood when suddenly this one day while I was walking I heard a noise coming from somewhere around the corner. I was going to keep walking but something made me stop. Oh my I thought it sounded like a low moan or a soft meow. Could it possibly be a kitty I thought? Well, as soon as I realized it was a kitty I ran for help to my friends in the neighborhood meowing frantically to help me. As my friends and myself were trying to free what we thought was a kitty I felt my energy coming back and I was becoming more like my old self again. I was excited about seeing this kitty but at the same time I was a little scared too.

After many hours of hard work there she was a precious and cute kitten! Thankfully she was alive and didn't seem hurt. Basically she just needed some food and water and shelter and reassurance. I took her home and the humans said we could keep her. I named her Cutie Pie.

Cutie Pie is my new best friend now and she looks up to me as a big sisfur and I like that a lot. Naturally I will never forget my precious and sweet Lucky. Lucky will always be in my mind and in my heart. I take care of Cutie Pie and it is a good feeling!
