Dear Lynne - I am so very sorry that BooBoo had to leave. You and Bob are the most wonderful people and it was somehow meant that BooBoo would come to you for happiness in his last days. He is well and happy now and I know that doesn't really help at this time--but time passing will dull the

No, it doesn't sound stupid at all. There are those of us who firmly believe our friends talk to us and understand what we say and do for them. When you are very quiet (often asleep) and ready, he will visit you. Don't be afraid. It is very real and will happen only if you want it to

Yes, I had this happen, luckily two of my guys got on my porch and Bailey went in the neighbors yard and sat in her flower bed after pusing the screen out. They are now wedged in so they can't be pushed out. This was also the reason we ended up putting up the enclosure, once Bailey had a

Mine have never worn collars, and they too are all microchipped. I know all the pros but experienced a very big con with a break away collar. Mi Tu caught her paw between her neck and the collar and was struggling when I found her. That was the last collar any cat of mine wore. They are

Lynn and Bob, I am so very very sorry for your loss. Even though you know it is probably coming, there is still a part of you that hopes for the impossible. I told you a bit about Smokey. The morning he died, he woke me up as usual nuzling my ear and purring. I will never forget that, ever.
