RE: Lost my shop buddy last night
I feel for your loss. We lost a wonderful long time male cat (Smokey) earlier this year - he "escaped" through a screen window to chase bugs and never returned. He was deaf and could not hear us call him during our many searches. We then picked up two new Main Coon mix kittens from a shelter 8 weeks ago, Bullwinkle and Cubby - a brother and sister. Now, we just found out (after $800 in vet bills) that Cubby has FIP and only has a week or two left in her life. We really get attached to these guys and it hurts to lose them under any circumstance. Pets are great companions and are always there for us. Too bad more people are not that way....
