When I hugged her, I would close my eyes and hold her still. I could hear her breath and claws digging into my tee shirt. Tiny ears brushing my chin and a perfect round face looking in all directions. She would try to get away for a few second. After some time she would just rest her head on my shoulder and surrender to the captivity.
She would be looking at me with big round eyes when I opened mine.
I would smile at this little interaction knowing that the smallest activity would make her restless and she would want to free herself. I would slowly put her on the sofa and look at her speed away to another room where she would stand near the door, expecting me to run after her. I wouldn't.
She would walk back to me rubbing her fluffy belly and fluffier tail around my legs.
This was a ritual.
I miss that ritual. I miss holding her.
I miss her head on my shoulders.
Her whiskers on my cheek.
Her gentle meow.
I miss you Jojo.

Once we had 7 kittens at our house. It was fun and I miss them all. I still remember how much we cried when we lost little one in front of us.
