What a beautiful testimony to a gorgeous pussycat. It has been documented that animals, especially cats, show signs when humans have health issues. Even some retirement and chronic care facilities have cats to give companionship but also for this very reason. I have to say it is nice to read men's tributes to their devoted cats the last few days. As a volunteer for cat rescue it is so often men who are getting their partners to abandon their furry family member, go figure. Cats can be such an amazing and special addition to the family unit and hopefully in 2015 less of them will be dumped and people will sterilize in order to ensure that no unwanted births will happen in a world already overpopulated with unwanted animals. I bet so many of you who read the COTD website religiously look at your beautiful cats and wonder how anyone could have abandoned them. I do that all the time - and it makes me sad that so many cats who are as wonderful as mine will not get a loving home because of the high numbers in shelters and rescues and the lack of space. So stories like this really REALLY make me happy. Thanks for sharing.
