PEPAS ‘PEPITA’ ROMERO

memories of my best friend. dedicated to the cat who saved my life and showed me more love then i could ever replace.

this is how we woke up every morning. she never moved, and sometimes just stared into my soul

this is her with pancho. pancho hates other cats but he tolerated her, they never cuddled but they laid across from each other at a very safe and comfortable distance. they were besties

This was when little peparoni first came around us. She wandered into my dad’s garage one day and just kind of stayed there, she hid behind all our old softball equipment and slept for so long. she was so cute though all tucked in her little nook;(

i tried to talk her on walks but she actually hated it so bad. She’s literally looking at me with so much anger in this but she so cute aweeeee on her liddo leash

I called these her ‘baby meows’, she did this ALL the time. Cutest thing ever

I’m not sure when her birthday was, but I know she came us around March of 2024. As I write this we’re in the month of March only now it’s 2025. It would have been a year that I knew my Pepita.

Our time was cut short but I still see her in my dreams, she’s lays on me just as she did before. She moved into my first apartment with me, we spent quiet mornings together taking everything out of cardboard boxes. Of course she just sat pretty because she doesn’t have opposable thumbs but she did a very important job.

Thank you sweet girl for keeping me company in those lonely moments, I miss hearing your meows follow me around the house. As long as I live your memory will never fade. Sleep well my love, i’ll wait for you in my dreams.

Pepita, Pepita! My little, little Pepita!!!
