Jim was quite a cat. He liked to flirt with disaster. When he was a kitten, a neighbor kid said they found him in a box on the RR tracks. That is how we got him 10 yrs ago, we was shut in the neighbor's garage door. He lived, and had a paralyzed leg for awhile. Pretty soon he was back to smacking everyone. Then, he got shut in the dryer...long story, but he lived through that too! He started loosing weight last yr. We never could pin point the exact cause. The last time we took him to the vet, they felt masses in his kidney and spleen. He also had a severe heart arythmia. So, after 14 yrs of companionship, we let him go. He always thought he was "all that" so I'm sure someone at the bridge will have to have a talk with him!!!
