Oh, Gary. I'm welling up again with LES. I am so sorry to read of this sad anniversary. As you said, sometimes we get smart too late. (I certainly have, all too many times.) You did the very best you could for Pouncer. She knows that, and she waits for you with all her love.

She didn't get to experience the Hotel, but she was the inspiration for it and the one who started you on your mission of caring for all the cats you can. She has watched every bit of all that has happened and is so proud to be the Founder!

Rest in peace, dear Pouncer, and God bless you Gary and all the cats and lovers of cats who have been part of your life.
