So sorry for your loss, John. Comforting purrs on the way for you and I'll
light a candle for Katie's safe journey to the Bridge. Sam "John F. Eldredge" wrote in message ... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Unfortunately, I had to have Katie put to sleep. She turned out to have cancer that had spread to multiple locations. The vet estimated that she probably had only two or three more weeks to live. She didn't appear to currently be in any pain, only weak, but I decided to spare her the pain that would probably come before the end. I adopted Katie only about 8 months ago, along with her "adoptive sister", Cinders. The two cats weren't siblings, but had been together since Cinders was a young kitten. Cinders is now about 9 years old; Katie was 10. Cinders will now probably search the house for a while, wondering where Katie went. I knew that adopting older cats meant that I would have a relatively short time with them, but I hope that Cinders still has several years of life ahead of her. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 7.0.3 for non-commercial use http://www.pgp.com iQA/AwUBQEDLbzMYPge5L34aEQL4vQCfQn7N5Lw/A16xR09xAFZCGG0PLs4AoM+G 1BlR7rgC8OqEvC84WDp5BoNO =Z0Zd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- John F.

I don't think of 10 years as being ''old'; just mature. Purrs for Katie and a candle to help her find her way to the Bridge. BTW: you may ave far moe years with Cinders then just 'several'. My two RB kitties, Lucky, and Blizzard, lived to 17 and 18 years old, respectively. I hope Cinders has the good fortune to share her life with you for *many* years to come. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Life without cats would be only marginally worth living." -TC, and the unmercifully, relentlessly, sweet calico kitty, Kenzie.

I am very sorry to read this - we have lit a candle for Katie. I hate it that you've lost her after such a short time together, and so soon after losing Annabel Lee. We are sending you big hugs and our most soothing purrs. ------ Krista |

And purrs for you, John, you've endured so much heartbreak this past year or so, with the fire, your health, your job loss, losing two kitties. You have our heartfelt best wishes for better times ahead. Take care. Jeanne |
