Today, I felt so bad because my little buddy, my cat, passed away. It’s like a piece of my heart is just gone. We had so many good times together. So, I thought I gotta do something special to remember him by, you know?

I started by thinking, what can I do? I didn’t want just anything. This had to be something that really said, “This was my best furry friend.” So, I went online, looking around, seeing what other people did. There were lots of ideas, like making a garden or something, but I wanted something more, something just for him.
Then it hit me. I saw someone had made this stone, a gravestone, just like for people but smaller, for their pet. I thought, that’s it! It’s perfect. It’s like saying, you were important, you were family.

What I Did
- Found a Stone: First, I went out to the yard and looked for a good stone. I wanted it to be flat so I could write on it. Found one, it was just the right size.
- Cleaned It Up: I took the stone inside and gave it a good scrub. Got all the dirt and stuff off, so it looked nice and clean.
- Picked a Marker: I had some markers, the kind that don’t wash off. I picked a black one, thought it would look good on the stone.
- Wrote His Name: This was the hard part. I carefully wrote his name on the stone. I wanted it to look special, so I took my time.
- Added a Little Message: Under his name, I wrote, “Best cat ever.” Because he was. I also drew a little heart, just to show how much I loved him.
After I was done, I took the stone back outside. I found a nice spot under his favorite tree, where he used to nap in the sun. I dug a little hole and put the stone there. It felt right, like he was still with me in a way.
It wasn’t easy, doing all this. Made me cry a bit, not gonna lie. But it also felt good. Like I was doing one last thing for him, to say thanks for all the good times. This little gravestone, it’s more than just a stone. It’s a way to remember my buddy, to keep him in my heart forever.
And you know what? If you ever lose your pet, maybe think about doing something like this. It really helps. It’s like, even though they’re gone, you’re still taking care of them, in your own little way.
