Dear Susan, Oh what a sad story about Cleo. It breaks my heart when cats are together for a long time and then someone seperates them after years of companion ship. Things like this annoy me so much on how people can not understand that cats do have feeling and bond just like people.
I am glad at least she found you and Annie at least she had some one who understood her. At least she had you both to love her. I am again very sorry to hear of your loss of both your dear sweet girls.
