We lost two dear, beloved, cats in the last 18 months. Next month will be a year since our beloved Tomas left us. I still tear up, also. In January of 2008, our precious Kitty was killed by the neighbor's dog (who was taken away for her own demise as she had attacked before). While we have since taken two new furbabies into our home who we love to death, we will never forget Kitty and Tomas. They live in our hearts forever, as your two do.
