Thanks, Tonya. I have a lot of cats...have lost 4 this year. It's never easy. There are some though, that you have a very special place in your heart for. Smokey was one of these. A short time after Smokey died, my husband's favorite friend, Moon died unexpectedly from a pancreatic tumor. These were 2 of the guys that slept right next to us. David said when he crosses over, he wants to see his dad, and then Moon and the other guys next!!! This from a guy it took me 20 yers to convert to CAT!!
