What a very beautiful poem! Reminds me of the day following Katz's passing. My boss removed me from my desk in the entrance hall because he didn't want a crying secretary there. He didn't even ask what's wrong, but I know he wouldn't have understood that I was just heartbroken because my most beloved friend was gone...

The sentence "It's just a cat/dog" is cruel and just heartless. But people who say that are poor because they never experienced the love and friendship of a furry friend.

R.I.P. Tinker Toy!
