Lost my Wolfie on Saturday [View all]

One time I was playing Sinead O'Connor singing "Nothing Compares to You" on my phone. Her voice so clear, so plaintiff. Then Wolfie climbs up on the bed and nudged my face, his abundant whiskers tickling my face. He heard distress and was there comforting me. I shut off the song. I pet him and reassured him. I haven't played that song since. But losing him a couple days ago, I hear the words from that song in my head; "It's been so lonely without you here, Like a bird without a song." He was a stray and I was lucky enough to have him for 14 of his 15 years.
