Ángel the kitten

Ángel loafed up on my parent's bed. His sweet eyes are closed. He is sleeping peacefully.

This is Ángel (pronounced ang-hel or with the regular English pronunciation of "Angel"), my beloved childhood cat. I made this webpage dedicated to him because I wanted him to be forever immortalized on the internet. So that he isnt't forgoten. So that he can continue to bring joy to people from all corners of the globe for years to come. So that he is known about and remembered 5, 10, 15+ years from now. I want more people to know about this little guy and how wonderful he was. Ángel. He was more so a kitten while I knew him. He didn't lead a good life with us. We had to give him away just before moving states sometime in 2014-2015. I remember the day my parent's got him. My mother had carried him in her purse and brought him into Walmart to buy some pet supplies just after we bought him from another family. I was terrified of him at first because at that point I had never been near a cat and I didn't know what to expect. I was scared that he was going to be sporadic and violent. He was scared, too. Scared and hostile, which didn't ease my nerves.

But then, night came, and this curious little creature wandered his way into my bedroom. I noticed him walk in and I sat up and looked at him in fear, awe and wonder. He froze and looked up at me in the same way before dropping his gaze and making his way underneath my bed. I relaxed a bit and laid back down and drifted to sleep. I was nearly asleep when I felt a sensation I've never before experienced. The sensation of having an animal leap up onto my bed.

At first I was startled. I instantly shot up and looked at him, as did he with me, and we stared at each other for a considerable amount of time. Eventually, there came a point in that contained and isolate pocket of time where it felt like we understood one another and that we knew we would bring each other no harm. We felt safe with one another at that very point in time. We had complete and mutal trust in one another. It was a magical moment because I had never felt such a connection with anyone or anything up to that point due to me being very young. For that very reason, This memory is vivid. He had fallen asleep curled up at the foot of my bed and we woke up togther. He came to me that first night. only me.

It's been years since I've last seen my childhood cat. Supposedly, according to my parents, the family that took him in resides in the same state that I'm currently living in. But, I have no way of knowing if thats true. On top of that, the state I live is vast and wide. It's no Rhode Island. So I've no way of being able to track them down. So close, yet so far. It's been past a decade. He would be a very old man by now. If he's still alive, I hope his new owners are treating him well. If he's passed on, I hope his quality of life was beyond what we could ever provide for him as he deserved nothing but the very best. I miss him terribley. I still mourn being seperated from him. I hope all is well with you, mijo, wherever you are. Te extraño bastante, Ángel, mi querido gatito, sol de mi vida :(

An even closer slefie I took of Ángel. his head is turned to the left-hand side and and his eyes are looking directly into the camera resulting in an amusing side-eye effect. He looks almost peeved.
