A letter from Chooty Akki to Tinkle in heaven

Dear Tinkle,

One day you came to our family. We grew up together. I knew you were thinking of us. We cared about you like our own sister. One cold day, you gave birth to beautiful little baby kittens. We saw how you cared for your babies.

One sad morning, you died when some animal bit you. We cried a lot. We are still crying. I don’t want another pet. But, I want you. You’ll be my cat forever.

I hope to see you in my dreams.

ChootyAkki,Tenuji
