Dear Kirsten, My heart goes out to you as I completely understand your pain and grief. I lost my beloved Magic a year ago on March 26th. But losing him is just as fresh as yesterday. I am soon going to be facing yet another loss, as Patches, my Calico has kidney failure and the vet gave her six months. I still "see" him in his favorite spots and I still "hear" his wonderful sweet meow. I think all of us would like to have our animal friends for a longer time than their normal life span. It sounds as though you were such a loving human to Katz and I know she is telling everyone about you - just across the Rainbow Bridge. Hugs to you on this special day. Gini
