I have an email message I send out to people who post a lost cat or a lost dog on craigslist. It is a list of suggestions to try to help locate their lost pet. I send it out to folks posting in 3 states (that's about all I have time for).
Often, I get replies, thanking me for the ideas. Less often I get another message, telling me they found the pet.
Today I received this message titled "Lost Cat - Sad News."
Hi,
Thank you for your very thoughtful email... We found him. He died after climbing a tree and falling into a v shape. Pretty aweful. Please don't respond. It's REALLY sad and I hope you understand that even though I know you'll want to pass on sympathy, it's hard to see any additional email on this.
Thank you for your best wishes.
Stephanie.
I don't know this person, or even which state she is in. I just wanted to do something, and as she specifically requested no reply, I decided to post a memorial here.
