What a beautiful and touching story. Now I know where his name came from. My own kitty is now 14 and although she is still doing fine, it is only a matter of time before we too, will have to say Good-bye. So sad to lose our animal loved ones.

Thank you

It was sad watching him not eat the last twodays.
