Hi, my name is Cora and I am a looonnnggg time lurker to this group. I
had 6 kittys but yesterday, 6-28, I had to have Arizona sent to the
Rainbow Bridge.
She was 12 years old. She was a tortie manx. What a purrsonality. Fat,
sassy and proud of it was her motto. Please light a candle that her
journey was swift to the bridge.
I can not believe how many kittys have passed over recently, Dusty,
Mike and Crystal to name a few.
Although I don't post I always say a prayer or purr for everyone who
needs them. I usually read most post from work over lunch but because
we have rules against personal usage, I can not post from work. Now we
have his and her computers at home and a DSL line. I am learning
posting and trying to set up a yahoo photo album of the clowder.
Thanks Cora slave to Wellston(15), Little Boy, Shadow and Stormy(all
age 8) and the newest owner Oliver(4 months). Also J.B.(Jail Bird) the
cockatiel.

You have my sympathy, Cora. Fortunately, I think it's fairly painless for
the cat when they're put to sleep. Much easier for them than many other
ways in which they could go. But it's always hard to say goodbye to a
beloved friend. I'm glad you have the rest of your animal family for
comfort.

I'm so sorry Cora. Purrs for you and Arizona. It's always so hard
to lose a little one. No matter how many you have around, each
one is such a little individual.

We'll light a candle and keep Arizona in our prayers. A lovely name. Is

Glad to hear from you Cora, though wish your first post had been with
a happier subject heading. Looking forward to hearing happier news
about you crew, as well as pix, now that you have DSL at home. My two
cockatiels, Sunny and Tiger, are sending special greeting to JB, since
they know first hand all about life with the furry ones.

I'm sorry to hear about your Arizona. 12 years old is too young to
lose a kitty.
