It's a long time since I posted here, although I do lurk a fair bit. I
had two cats, Cinnamon and Sam. Sadly, Sam developed kidney problems, which progressed very rapidly. He died yesterday at the vet clinic, where he was having an IV to try to help him out a bit. He was a lovely cat, very laid back but friendly and cuddly. I adopted him as an adult, and he'd clearly had a rough start in life since he had a broken tail and scratch in one eyelid at some point in the past. He was one of those wandering young toms annoying the resident cats in a neighbourhood he was passing through when someone tried unsuccessfully to find his former home and then to find him a new one. I had him checked out and neutered and brought him home about 11 years ago, and never regretted it. He was very suitably deferential to Mandy (RB), who thought she ran the universe, and when, after she died, I adopted Cinnamon, he got on with her too. I knew he would. The shelter who gave me Cinnamon were concerned that 'the tom', as they called him, might be aggressive towards a new cat, but I knew that Sammy didn't have an aggressive bone in his body. I miss him so much. -- Cheryl |

It's a special sadness. One we all share but cannot know in detail. Purrs for your heart and for his journey to the Bridge. -- Will in New Haven https://sites.google.com/site/gloryroadrpg/home |
