Severus Snape

Oh my sweet Severus. I miss you so much already. I knew it would hurt horribly, but I still wasn’t ready for the magnitude of grief I’m feeling right now.
I remember the day I got you and Houdini like it was yesterday. December 22, 2011.
I asked my bf at the time to take me on a date to the humane society. I went to the kitten room and sat on the floor. Houdini came and sat on my lap and stayed there the entire time. You on the other hand were a bit skeptical. You’d come up to me. Then dart away. Then come back. Did you like me? Was I the enemy? I knew I couldn’t adopt any animals that day, but I decided to name you Severus Snape anyway. Way better than Stuart (the name that was assigned to you. 😂 Houdini’s was Steve)!

We left and I went back home. Later that night Chris told me to come let him in because his hands were full. And I opened the back door and he was holding a cat carrier. I was so excited. But which kitten did he pick? Imagine my surprise when he opened the carrier door and both of you ran out.

You were skeptical of me for awhile. But once you trusted me, you were a mama’s boy. And you stayed that way until the very end.

I will miss your head-butts. The way you’d climb on me at night to let me know that you’d like to go to bed but first I had to lay down. I will miss you sleeping on my legs every single night. I will miss the way you helped my anxiety just by purring. I’ll miss you making the best biscuits ever on my lap.

Thank you for letting me be your mama.
I wanted so much more time with you.
I’ll miss you forever.
I’ll love you always.
