Hamlet had to be put to sleep last week (December 5th, 2008). He was 17 years old. My heart is broken...

My big orange buddy was Cat-of-the-Day back in 2007, on January 25 (nearly two years ago). I actually just found out that he was COTD, by accident, when I googled "Hamlet" plus "orange".

Finding out that Hammy was COTD after he'd already died was like a present from kitty-heaven. My buddy's pic and my write-up about him is there on the Internet, reminding me how much everyone loved him! I read COTD viewers' posts on the threads for that day. Hamlet made a very BIG and lovely impression!!

Thank you, everyone, for your sweet words about Hammy back then. I never even realized it until a few days ago.

I am so grateful -- grateful for his long life, and for the love he shared with me! Goodbye, my dearest buddy, Hamlet...
