Re: Add Tad to the CLS
It was hard on him to lose Tad, and hard for me too - I was so angry and sad and all that. Just hope that they've learned something about taking care of cats. We buried Tad this afternoon, in a lovely place, with stones on top, I got out a nice old pillow case with pretty embroidery. Sigh.

As you said, Tad did have a long life. That's something to be happy about, though he should have had more time. I hope your friend is hanging in there. I know how hard it is. Speaking for myself, and probably many others on this list, our cats are our kids. Take care of your friend and yourself. Lance

Re: Add Tad to the CLS
I'm with Nina. When his folks get old and too much to handle, how about sticking them in the back yard and letting them sleep out there.
