An Ode To A Digital Kitten Long Gone

Yes...for quite a long time on Rune Scape I had wanted a kitten. I've seen all the adorable ones around...but could never find my own. Then finally, after finishing the Gertrude's Cat quest, she gave me one. She was adorable. Black, with matching eyes and a little red collar. I named her Keke. Only because that's the only thing that could come to mind. I never really named her. She was gone too quickly for that. After going leaving Gertrude's with another cooking level and high hopes, I headed to Catherby to raise my fishing level. One more level and I can catch swordfish! What's next? Sharks! Well...as I was fishing, I started walking...and all of the sudden Keke disappeared! I was like...she's stuck somewhere again, so I logged out. But she wasn't in my inventory. I switched worlds. Not there either. So I ran back to Gertrude's. I was talking to a friend along the way who had done the Gertrude's Cat quest and asked him about it. He said that if you fill your inventory, it'll run off. I asked if she'd come back. After a long silence, he said no. I weeped inner tears and I went to Gertrude. She said she'd give me another cat for 100 gold. I rushed to the bank, joyous to get one back. I prayed for a black one like Keke. But I didn't get one. Instead I got an orange cat. I was disappointed, but I was happy. No...this cat wouldn't replace Keke...but I would love it just as much. As we walked, the cat and I, I watched it. It looked like a man. Not just any man. A manly man. I immediately decided to name it Char. And there we go. The story of a kitten long gone, and a prince newly found. Thank you -bows-

I love Char, though. He's adorable. It's sad how attached I'm getting to digital creatures, I know. But I was really excited to have Keke. I'd wanted a kitten for such a long time, that when I got one, I didn't think about the consequences. I know Keke's out there, searching for fish in Catherby. I hope she's happy -sniff- -dies- I loved her a lot. Her name has come from Meow Meow's nickname, since if you say 'Kitty, kitty", after a while it sounds like 'Keke'. Not 'Kiki'...'Keke'. I can't explain it. You have to hear me say it to understand it. I suppose it's like...Kiki is "Keykey" and Keke...well...the "ee" sound is held out a bit longer, I suppose. I dunno. You just have to hear me say it. Well -sniffs- I thought I'd record that thought. And...in the meantime...I have pictures of Char and me! YAY! I figured I'd keep them, just in case I raised him into a cat and sold him for 100 blood runes. Probably will...just to get another. Gertrude won't let me have more than one. For good reason, I suppose. But I'm happy with Char. And I'm going to throw away Keke's favorite ball of wool. She loved it so. As does Char. Char loves his ball of wool. -sniffs- And his sardines! -bursts into tears- -dies giggling- Well...I'm fine...just...feel bad that I was that stupid and lost Keke. I really liked her. Even though she was digital, she has a place in my heart. -sniff- -dies- Oh well...-sigh- We learn from our mistakes, even though we may not like them. Imagine what would happen if I didn't go fishing right then...and I did it after I had grown attached to Keke? I mean...really attached. I would be heartbroken. Sobbing even. My poor Keke. Oh well. As I said, she's digitally catching fish. -sigh- I'm so odd.
