A Feline's Everlasting Love

Poem Artwork

"My husband was very affectionate with him.

It is almost as if Toldo is grateful.

He is a special cat, one cannot help liking him.”

 

Mr. Renzo’s Widow

 

 

 

 

I have read many stories

About loyal dogs at graves

And I just read about Toldo

A grieving feline in Italy today

 

Toldo’s human friend, died a year ago

He had taken in Toldo, as a young kitten

A year after his passing, Toldo still grieves

And he still goes to the cemetery to visit him

 

Mr. Renzo’s family still finds tokens of tribute

That Toldo still takes to Renzo’s grave every day

His grieving feline, leaves twigs and flowers there

His suffering at their separation, has not gone away

 

The day Mr. Renzo was laid to rest, his feline friend was there

And today, Toldo continues to visit his human friend, after a year

I know that both canines and felines give us, their unconditional love

How many of us can truly say the same, of friends that we’ve held dear

 

I have read many stories,

About loyal dogs at graves;

And I just read about Toldo,

A grieving feline in Italy today.

I never used to believe that a cat could love with the same depth as a dog, then Maybelle came into my life and taught me otherwise. I now do believe that she would grieve as deeply at my passing as my dogs would. I remember that when the darkness becomes unbearable.

I read this story a few days ago and it touched my heart so deeply. Some souls are just meant to be together and even death cannot sever that bond. I got teary all over again reading your words. Thank you for relating this story, Ed. It is important for each of us to understand that life is life and to believe that man is somehow superior to the other creatures who share this planet with us for a time, is both arrogant and foolish.
Take care,
Sherry

Wonderful poetic story Ed! My Sammy-boy will not let me leave his site. He is a 7yr. old feline who follows me like a little puppy. Lately he has become extremely vocal as if he wants to talk to me. Life is better with a dog or cart there is no doubt about that. Amen my friend!

Amazing. I kept thinking of your poetry and life when I read - The Art of Racing in the Rain - Spec the end, now I've read this. Classic!

Yes they have feelings, they might express them not as often, or maybe differently than we blockheads understand, when my little pooch died, Skippy came over to the couch and kept licking my check, she showed so much affection, and is sadly missed, she died at the ripe old age of twenty two/ bless ya for the write.

Perhaps someday technology will allow us to get a modicum of understanding of an animal's brain function, but until then, we might have to rely on you to remind us often of just how special their smaller means of thought and love outdistance our own many times.

Aw! Bless little Toldo! I know with certainty animals are far more in tune with us than most understand. When I am sad or upset, my little Allie (14 year old rescue dog) knows and she never leaves my side. Animals show real loyalty and compassion...humanity could learn so much if they only stopped and observed.....thanks for sharing this very touching story...

I love my cats, they are smart and they know
me quite well and understand me... this does
not surprise me Mr. Ed, my cats know my every
emotion and look to me knowingly...

Thank you for such a wonderful story :)
