My cat, Max, passed away this morning from a respiratory system problem. He went before his time.
Max and I didn't get along well when he was a kitten: he was very willful and I was going through some rough phases with my medication. But over time we became friends, companions.
He would sit with me while I played the game, always on my right side. He would get my attention by running under my legs, especially when he wanted one of 2 things- to be fed or let out. Just keeping the food bowl filled wasn't good enough, I had to go to the bowl and pretend to fill it more so he would eat. He would even get me if one of the female cats wanted to eat.
He was a fierce protector to his queen and his daughter, he wouldn't put up with anyone messing with them. When Maggie was having her kittens she was screaming from the pain, and while my wife and i were trying to help her he attacked me from behind to "keep me away" because he thought I was hurting her.
I remember one afternoon he came up to me and made an unusual noise. I looked down and he had brought me a toy spider from one of my game sets. He was making a peace offering to me, and I praised him for it.
He loved it when I would scratch his back. He would always turn around and make as if to nip at me, but I could tell he really enjoyed it- he would come back for more, and when he really was getting into it he would make motions with his mouth like he was nursing. I had to give him some attention every day, and he brightened my days by being there for me no matter what.
I feel so cold and empty now. I can't eat or sleep; I can't enjoy anything. There never will be any pet that can replace Max, he was one of a kind. I will always miss him now.

Max was a great cat, even though I felt he didn't like me much, he liked men better. We will all miss him, and will always remember him.
