In Memory of Sammy

[Michael Harrison Russell]

Hi,

My beloved cat Sammy passed away this morning. He was 16 years old and had
been with me since 1987. He had wandered in as a tiny kitten and stayed with
me ever since. He had been ill of late but was happy plodding around and
being fussed over. He had been to the vets etc. Yesterday I gave him some
chicken and a little cream, which he was so fond off. His face lit up at the
challenge at eating what was there.

I have just returned form the pet cemetery and it has not sunk in yet that
he will no longer be here.

For those of you who are thinking of getting a cat please do. The love,
devotion and friendship is beyond belief and the memories that I shall carry
for the rest of my life I shall cherish always.

I shall miss him beyond belief.

Mike

Sorry to hear about Sammy. It's so hard when we lose our friend..no matter how
long a time or short a time we had with them.

Mike,

I'm so sorry for your loss. I lost both of my 19-year-olds this
year, so I know exactly what you're feeling.

Hey Mike, been there, done that, only about two months ago. My Smokey was
18 year old. The wife, and I went to a Michigan Humane Society animal
adoption show yesterday...just to look. Ended up adopting not one, but two
little rascals! They won't replace Smokey, but it sure helps cope with the
loss.
