Mourning/Loss My cat, Sooty died today

So distinguishable from other black cats.
I’m so sad and I miss him already and I know I will miss him even more in the future.
I remember when it was a dark night I sometimes pull the curtain back to see some beady eyes poking out from the darkness. I look closer and I see that cute little face of his. He always waited outside patiently for me and his face lit up every time he saw me.
When I walk home often from college he’s sometimes hanging about the street and when he sees me he trots over to me for strokes and cuddles.
When he’s not he is waiting for me in the house for me to get home.
He loved sleeping underneath my bed with all the spare pillows and blankets. All tucked up and snug. Looking so cute.
He was always so polite, listening to key words, not as good as most dogs but I can’t blame them they’re cats. He never jumped on food services like tables. He never jumped on beds unless you signaled him to. He waited patiently for food and he really showed how excited he was to see me, especially when i had food. He wouldn’t ever scratch or bite. But sometimes he used to make biscuits so he couldn’t help sometimes pressing his claws in to my trousers when he was happy and purring.
His brother tigger is all alone now. I gave him some tuna as a sort of apology for his loss. I don’t think he knows yet. Tuna was always sooty’s favourite.
