This is the story about a cat named Blue. In part the story of his human family and friends: their  daily  experiences, joys and sorrows. My” Little Boy Blue”, a wonderful Turkish Van Cat who gave & gave of himself, with love, devotion & friendship! The perfect companion during the fourteen year odyssey we shared together. Never asked for much: A bit of animal talk, lots of head butting, a gentle combing, soft cuddling, a brisk rubbing of his belly and the occasional treat, pizza crust being his favorite. In return he was always present, an inspiration, providing unquestionable love, loyalty and companionship. He understood my emotions and moods; possessed the ability to sense my lows and immediately cheer me up. My rock during those hard times of which there were many. My little boy, it has been barely six months since you departed this earth and as I pen this tribute to your life, tears flow shamelessly down my cheeks. Miss you so much! Don't know how or if I even have the desire to continue down life's road without you. But I must, it is essential the celebration of your life be told. You deserve to be immortalized and your story shared with animal lovers everywhere. So let us begin the journey: Twas early April 1997.....  Less
