Hello, How are you? I hope you're better than me. On Monday, August 24th, my Siamese cat, Zeus, was poisoned by my neighbors. This week I have been very sad about that, and I have been crying all those days. I miss Zeus too much, and I remember him at all times.

My neighbors have not said anything about the death of my zeus, although they are perfectly aware about what they did.

They, my neighbors, said that my cat scared the dog because the dog barked every time him saw Zeus, I think that is why my insensitive neighbors decided to put food with poison where zeus used to walk.

We have not said anything to them about it, we do not want to discuss. We just hope they will be able to find the forgiveness of God.

Zeus, I loved you too much! And I am going to love you forever.

Rest in peace, my pretty kitty...
