Someday I will Reach the Shore

On June 13th, 2025, my cat Bondi passed away. How quickly a year passes by.

There isn’t much I can say that I haven’t already said. The pain of losing him doesn’t hurt as much anymore, but I still miss him. Especially the everyday moments.

Bondi being eager for affection in the morning before he napped.

Bondi greeting me with a big stretch when I returned home from work and gently headbutting my hand to say thank you when I fed him.

Bondi gently pressing a paw against my leg to ask for more affection in the evening, or jumping onto my desk if that doesn’t work.

Bondi sprawled out on my bed, his reusable shopping bag or my lounge.

I have a thousand or more memories with him. And I think I will always miss him.

Will I adopt another cat? Maybe someday.

Perhaps if I end up in a relationship in the near future, they’ll have a cat who decides they like and trust me.
