**Is It Enough?**

It's been exactly a week since my tabby cat found its final resting place in a little mound in the backyard of my house.

I don't feel like I've grieved for it enough.

Last night, I kept thinking about my cat, about all the stupid things that we did together, or rather, all the stupid things I did to it. And then a thought sneaked its way into my mind -- my cat's food bowl. The one it and my other cat ate out of. My stupid siamese cat could never have enough from its own bowl.

It probably lies unused in the store room now, hidden from sight because it is a constant reminder of the fat, lazy, yet lovable, and adorable cat. No one wants to cry again, to be reminded of the cat that was, in its brief time with us, part of the family.

Last night, tears streamed down my face as I lay in bed like they did a week ago when I got the bad new. I certainly don't want to cry anymore.

I still miss my cat.
