I brought Sophie home 17 years ago as a pure white kitten with a black nose. Her Snow Bengal pattern soon emerged and she was a beautiful cat--everyone who saw her mentioned how pretty she was. Sophie saw me through a lot of hard times. She stayed by my side when I was sick and comforted me when I was heartbroken. She cuddled with me at night and gently nudged me awake every morning. She even joined me during my zoom meetings. I loved the games we would play, her purrs as she slept on my lap, and her sweet meows when I would ask her about her day. She was the best cat I ever had and I will always hold her close to my heart. I miss you, sweet girl.
