Velcro was a small, black cat with beautiful orange eyes. My wife, Anita, got him at a pet gathering on the west coast. He was very delicate when she brought him home, and was basically always a sickly cat. He kept to himself a lot and was not boisterous like many of our other kitties.



However, he was so sweet and lovable. He would come over and sit on my lap and let me pet him. One thing he loved doing was watching for the door to be opened. He would race out and go down by the side of the house. He would then stop and wait for me to come and pick him up and take him back in. It was like there was just a very small streak of mischief in him coming out. I just loved it when he would stop and wait for me to pick him up.

He died very suddenly at less than 5 years old. Even though he was always a bit delicate, his death came as a shock to us. We miss him so much and have a little picture of him on a table beside our bed. We shall never forget Velcro, our beautiful sticky boy.

Last month marked the 9th aniversary of the passing of our beloved little cat, Velcro. We loved him so much and still miss him and will never forget him.
