Heres to Smokey : Our companionship was made by you,from its beginning to the end..and the in-between too. I'm not sure if "human terms" is identical to a cat. But the way in which we shared a bond, well we both embraced that. I want to say I miss you; and I know you knew I tried...I'm not ashamed to say I loved you;that when you passed away I cried. In our way its just so hard for us to say goodbye and "let it go"...so I'll say thanks again good friend so in your way you'd know. Thanks for sharing your story;Smokey really was a world-class trooper but it also sounds like his human was as well.
