| Thanks for the comforting words. I have had cats around for most of my life and needless to say have lost many of them during my lifespand. This is the 2nd cat I have acturally watch die. Most of the other ones that I had before got run over by a car or died when I was not around.
I still have a nearly unlawful number of cats hanging around here. Three are my own house cats (because the mother cat had two more) and we found that the others were living on our roof after we moved in, the mother cat vanished but three are still here. Two remian outside in the yard, and one we adopted and her name is Minnie the Moocher. We kept the girl cat inside to prevent any more kittens from "arriving" and later got her fixed. Then this female bob cat moved into our yard to take advantage of the food being put out for the two outside cats. It is a rare breed and is the smallest wild cat in North Ameirca. (same size as a regular cat). But very shy. Once I rescued it from the fense and it bit me and my hand was a mess for over a week, had to go to the doc for treatment. But it is still here and all is foregiven.
Alas, even in this city it is still a jungle out there. |
