Oh, Zippy, how hard these past weeks have been for you and your family. At least you knew that there was no indecision about what should be done. Clarice was a beautiful and devoted kitty whose time here on earth was well spent.

If it is any consolation, please know that your saddness is shared here by so many of us. I hope when Clarice is ready, her spirit will make a visit to you to give you that assurance that she is okay and will love you forever.
