My cat, named Simba, died on Friday 2011, March 11 at age 16. She was ill with diabetes and required insulin shots twice a day. The past few weeks she wasn't breathing properly, and wasn't eating. When we finally took her to the vet on March 11, they were about to hook a machine up to her to help her breathe, but she died before they could help her.


I wasn't there when it happened.


I understood that she was old, and didn't have long to live. I was quick to accept her death, not mourn for her loss, and be happy she was able to live so long.


I know this song is only 30 seconds, and is fairly simple, and most of you won't think much of it, but when I finished making this song, I just couldn't contain myself and needed a good cry.


The moogish melody reminds me of her meow and the bell support reminds me of her collar.


Even with all my knowledge and understanding, I'm still human.


This is the first time a song has ever made me cry.

Mellow and sad

Sorry about your cat, this indeed is a fine melody and I know how a song that's made by yourself can have such an impact, even if it doesn't have one on others, because it's fully loaded of emotions you've put in it while making it.

Only problem for me is that it could have been a little longer, but I guess you are self-aware about that, so as long as it represents your cat the best way you think, then I guess it's ok. Cheers.
