Alexander, was the first name I had given to this beautiful cat who came as a kitty to me through two friends(a couple) in highschool , as a birthday gift for my 16th bday, his name expanded to Alexander Recep Bal Efe through time. Recep is a funny Turkish name which means the seventh month of the lunar calendar was given by me because I was funny, Bal means Honey, My Mother And Grandma enjoyed using this name because his fur resembled along with his sweetness, Efe is a name for the leader of turkish irregular soldiers, but its a historical name for great characters ( it was given to him by my grandmother who likes the culture of Efe's ). The first day I met him as a kitty he slept on my hair, I can still cherish that memory.

He passed at the age of 7, while I was away and hadnt seen him in months, my mother didn't tell me of this for so long and had to process this loss on her own, she still does not bond close with animals anymore, I couldn't look at any cats for a year (stare) after learning the news. But one day I realized he would have wanted me to be more loving to his brethren, so I opened my heart to cat love again and petted a cat on a coffeeshop. That night when I went to bed, in my theta state I felt a spirit of a cat crawl in my embrace and hug me with all his love. Damn I got teary eyed writing this. 3 years ago I learned he was attacked by dogs that was the cause of his departure. I had to process lots of trauma my love for dogs had to go through healing. He would've been 15 years old if he lived now.

Glad to have known you. May we meet again my friend.
