Fur Angel

My best friend Rose

"As I laid on her chest that day, she started to tremble and sob. I could tell by the way she was petting my fur and looking at me with her saddened blue eyes that she was saying goodbye to me for the very last time."

Before I go any further I'm going to jump back a bit, thirteen years back to be exact, because that's when this story truly begins.

   It was a very hot day, and I was spending time in the box, that I called home, with my mom and siblings. Now I can't remember the exact number of brothers and sisters I had ,but I know I was the smallest and the most quiet one in my family so I kept mostly to myself.

   On that particular day I was just laying in my corner of the box, half asleep and half awake, when all of a sudden I heard humans talking outside the little building my box was in. The next thing I know sun light came shining into the little building, which you would know as a shed, and that's when they walked up to the box to look at all of us.

  I heard the mother human (who I called mom) ask the two smaller humans (Rose and Marie)  to pick two kittens. Now at this point my siblings were climbing all over each other and yelling,

   "pick me pick me!"

  ,But not me. I just hid in my corner and didn't say a word.

   Marie, who was the youngest human, picked my brother Otis. He was the loudest in my family and he was a mostly grey striped tuxedo kitten with some white around his nose, on his chest, and his paws.

After Marie had chose Otis and Mom put him into a smaller box, Rose looked into the box and said that she wanted me. Mom then picked me up and put me in the smaller box next to Otis.

  The next thing I know the small box is between Rose and Marie ,and we are in something that was moving. I felt scared ,but Rose began to pet me and as she did I calmed down and I began to purr. It was at that very moment that I knew I had found my best friend.
