Despite feeling sad, I hope you did have a good birthday. That is what your boy would have wanted you to do. It is hard to imagine going on without those little creatures of God, but we do. There is a little poem called " I will lend you a kitten." Will look it up and post it. The message is so true!! We are chosen to live our lives with these special cats(and dogs, too!), but their time with us is limited. Will get the poem to post. Sandra/Raven's Mother
