My Little Smokey aka Shadow was 22 years old when he crossed the Rainbow Bridge and like your Shadow , he was ni\ot expected to live all that long. But he fooled everyone and outlived the Cats that he grew up with. Love can help Shadow live as long as he wants , as long as he never wants as long as he lives , which I am positive will be the case! Sensational Shadow , COTD! Who knows what Cat Treats lurk in the Grocery Bag , The Shadow knows!
