Lost Friend

I would never normally post any personal tragedies on social media but blip feels different and feel i can share the sad news of my beautiful wee boy. After a very short illness Sonic passed away. He was my friend for 12 years and I loved him to bits. He was pretty unique for a feline. He constantly wanted to lie on my lap on his back with my hand covering his eyes or cheekily answering me back when i told him "no". He would only drink from the bath tap so it will be strange not to hear the constant drip drip.
Probably my mind playing tricks but I'm positive i heard him meowing earlier.
I will miss my little buddy.
