Obie's Story
Obie, with her distinctive black and white fur, black nose, and uneven pupils, was a cat of mischievous charm and profound affection, initially feisty but soon following her humans everywhere, pretending to be eating grass when caught. She made every family member feel like her favorite, showering Shakirra with snuggles, resting like a baby in Hunter's arms, and insisting on sleeping between her humans, always finding joy in chewing carrots or playing fetch with a small ball.

Lyrics
Intro
ukulele, acoustic guitar, light percussion
Verse 1
Eighteen years ago, a tiny queen
Hissed in the corner, a ferocious scene.
Leaping down hallways, a playful attack,
Then followed us close, never looking back.
If we turned around, she’d pretend to graze,
On the footpath grass, in mysterious ways.
Every single one, she made us believe,
We were her favorite, so we'd never grieve.
Chorus
Oh, Obie, our Obie, Oberon Bella Davis, so grand,
Eighteen years of love, across the land.
The most loved cat, a truth so clear and true,
Our wild-hearted girl, we’ll always love you.
Verse 2
When Home and Away played, you’d jump on my lap,
A purring soft weight, caught in a sweet trap.
You snuggled Shakirra, in Hunter's arms you’d sleep,
Between Aaron and me, secrets you would keep.
Climbing my face, and my hair you would chew,
With distinctive black nose, and pupils askew.
Black and white beauty, with carrots you'd play,
Rubbing your body, throughout the long day.
Chorus
Oh, Obie, our Obie, Oberon Bella Davis, so grand,
Eighteen years of love, across the land.
The most loved cat, a truth so clear and true,
Our wild-hearted girl, we’ll always love you.
Verse 3
A pink collar you wore, though it never would stay,
Waking Aaron at five, to start off the day.
At quarter past ten, you'd beg for your feast,
Though dinner was later, you'd demand it at least.
And 'tubes' was a word that we dared not to say,
The 'things' Shakirra squeezed, brightened up every day.
You'd leap on the table, where you shouldn't have been,
For your tube before outings, our beautiful queen.
Bridge
I love you more than the whole wide sky,
My everything, beneath your gentle eye.
You held on for us, through every single beat,
It's okay you had to go, your peace is so sweet.
I miss you so much, with a love that will gleam,
Forever you'll live, in every cherished dream.
Instrumental
ukulele, acoustic guitar, piano
Final Chorus
Oh, Obie, our Obie, Oberon Bella Davis, so grand,
Eighteen years of love, across the land.
The most loved cat, a truth so clear and true,
Our wild-hearted girl, we’ll always love you.
Outro
Now with Rommel, across the green,
Running through grass, a joyous scene.
Chasing lizards, causing trouble and fun,
Our Obie's journey, forever brightly run.
Outro - ukulele fade
