Miss you Nero

Nero
Nero
This is Nero. Or perhaps now I should be saying this was Nero. Nero was a family cat that has simply disappeared. We went out for dinner a couple of weeks ago and he has never been seen since. He had not been part of the family long, however he had made a huge impact. Every time I looked at him, I couldn't get over how long his tail was. It seemed out of proportion to the rest of him. He was very talkative so you were never lonely when he was around. He loved chasing butterflies and moths, and was usually had a bug or two to keep him busy. Like all pets he had a very distinctive personality and has left a hole in the family dynamic.
I have been to the pound a couple of times thinking I have seen him there. Always aware that this is wishful thinking. If in fact Nero was there he would be easily identified because he was micro chipped. I have called all local vets, put shout-outs on facebook, and even had the local adoption group that we adopted him from put up a missing post as well.
Nero you are very much missed and I hope that wherever you are now, that you are ok.
The death of a pet is always a time for grief, a lost pet is always worse because there is no conclusion. Just a half read book.
Love ya Nero!
