Message to Lukey: I miss you, so much. Everything feels off balance without you. I hope you are free now, and I'm glad you're not hurting anymore. But selfishly I wish I could have kept you longer with me.
Tell us about Lukey: I got Lukey with his sister Leia five years ago from the Anti-Cruelty Shelter. He was only 3 months old and funny looking with big white circles around his eyes, but he quickly grew into a beautiful little boy with an impish, keen, and loving personality. He kept us on our toes as he tried to eat all the things that would kill him (balloons, Christmas trees, plastic), burrowed under baby gates, learned to open doors, and jumped to the top of the China cabinet. He threw his weight around a bit with his sister Leia trying to tussle with her and eating her food, but they loved each other so much, grooming each other and sleeping together. He would meow loudly at an unearthly early hour each morning to first get his breakfast, then rouse each member of the household, before he took his morning nap haha. He hated closed doors, and would push his little paws under the doors and meow plaintively. If we didn't heed him, he'd go to a different part of the house and meow there in alternating tones of woe, as if trying out the effectiveness of different acoustics. He loved cuddling with his Grandpaw in the mornings, and Grandpaw returned his love by spoiling him absolutely rotten. He loved to have Grandma chase him through the house, and he'd give her the guiltiest round sad eyes when she found him being naughty. He was a star in our house, and we miss him a lot.
