My Blacky Cat 8

 Blacky Cat lived with me all of his life, from June of 2000 until January 10th, 2012.

He could hear me walking down the hallway; he would meow to greet me and so I knew there was someone waiting for me.  When I left, I got used to telling Blacky where I was going and how long I’d be gone.

I miss that.

He always sat on my lap with his face towards my left; he would get up and turn around if I picked him up another way.

He slept on my bed; I slept on his bed.

It was ok when he was a kitten (small) but when he got bigger, he took up a lot of the bed.

He helped me watch movies:

When he wasn’t sitting with me, Blacky had the run of the apartment.  He was a BIG cat:
