Siber 2004-2025
Siber came into my life when I found him at a shelter cowering in the back corner of his cage, scared of everything. He was barely a year old, and for his first year of life, the story they told me was that he was in an abusive home, constantly beat on and tortured, and eventually thrown outside to fend for himself, where a neighbour was able to rescue him, saving him from that awful beginning to his life. After a few months of patience, kindness, and gentle care, I finally gained his trust, and his little personality began to shine through. The cat that Siber could finally grow into now that he knew warmth, love and safety, was simply amazing. He was the most gentle and kind soul I have ever met. He never in his life hissed, bit, scratched or showed any attitude. He loved unconditionally. Siber was my best friend. My companion in life for 21.5yrs. He was there every single day. He was the first one to greet me at the door when I came home, and always made sure to end the night snuggled into me when we went to bed. He was there every morning sitting on my chest, waiting for me to wake up, but never pestering me for food. Instead, always patient and just waiting quietly. When I did wake, his purrs of happiness that I was up and seeing his little face staring at me were the best ways to start the day. He always came to find me wherever I was just so that he could be with me, our time together was important to him. He had so many little habits and routines, he loved his routines, like waiting outside the shower door for me to get out of the scary water monster, or sitting beside me in my office on his own little chair while I worked. From that moment he decided I was his protector, we built a bond that was unbreakable, and it was unlike anything I have ever felt or known from any other animal. Life without him by my side will never be the same. I love him more than anything, and I miss him dearly. Siber was truly the best cat ever, and the best friend I could ever ask for. Rest in peace pal. You will never be forgotten.
