My Boney Girl

By James Feasel

Our pets bring joy to our lives. They are valued family members. We love and desire the best for them. Sadly, our pets can acquire diseases similar to those that afflict the human race. Chronic kidney disease claims many of our feline friends. Often the disease has advanced to the later stages before it is diagnosed. Further decline is heart breaking to observe.
My Boney Girl is about a stray abandoned kitty who showed up at my front door. My wife and I did the right thing by accepting her into our family. The strong emotional attachment I developed for her was quite unexpected. Kidney disease took her away many years too soon.
Please allow me to tell you our story expressed in poetry, narration, photographs and illustrations. I need to share these words with all cat lovers.

A Note from Jim

Introduction

A little kitty wandered into my life in need of care. I was glad to help her. Somebody had abandoned her, maybe because of her less than perfect health. My attempt to resist attachment was wholly unsuccessful. I loved her and always will. Pets add quality to our days here on earth and become valued family members.

Our story is that of a regular guy and a regular cat. Our good times, her battle with feline renal disease and my struggle to adjust to life without her.

In the following pages I remember her expressed in rhyme, stories, pictures and illustrations. She deserves to be remembered and I wish to never forget.

Reviews for My Boney Girl

[natasha P. · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Great book. It was very touching and heartbreaking. Animals make our lives so much better. Beautiful pics of Boney. Such a wonderful cat. Cried while reading this book. I have lost more than one cat over the years. It causes horrible depression and anxiety.
