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

When I lost my 16 year old I just couldn't stand it. One month later, I went to Petsmart
and adopted TuTu. She is my constant (I mean constant) companion. I
still remember Princess daily. My sympathy to you for your loss. MLB
