Coconut came into our lives about 19 years ago. She was the only black kitten nestled among many little bodies of white fur and stripes. It was my tenth birthday and the second we picked her up she started purring as loudly as an engine, my Mom and I immediately knew that she was the one. I think she chose us just as much as we chose her. Over the years, Coconut grew beautiful and plump and loved socializing with her fellow female-kind. She was the kind of cat who showed great concern if you were ever crying and would spend the whole day in bed with you if you were sick. Getting chased around and giving my Mom and I a good scare, or at least trying to, gave her much delight. I’ll miss giving her kisses on the head the most.

Thank you for years of playing, friendship, cuddles, laughs, purring, comfort and so much more. You were the best friend I ever had and I’m going to miss you every day. We went in for a cat and wound up with the whole package. Easy travels wherever you are, my friend, I hope we can meet again someday.🐾🖤
