What a beautiful but horribly sad story. I am glad that two other cats found loving homes. Did your friend's cats find loving home?

Someday I'd like to adopt either a female kitten (or puppy) and name it after my grandmom as she asked to me take her cats when she died (at the time I just couldn't.) So now I want to find a little one and name it after her too. Beware Jen, I'll check occasionally to see if any of your cats have her name and if it does, I'll take it as a sign that she needs to be adopted by me!

By the way - that was not a cry for another new critter any time soon. And no, I will not divulge my grandmom's name so that you can trick me into another one. LOL
