I won't go into the reasons why but I have decided to leave Usenet. I will
most likely return to this group in the future at the times when my
present two cats - Andy (4) and Mary (at least 4) go to the RB. I wish you
all well, and a happy holiday season.


Best wishes are offered to Kili and Tweed who both have a lot medically to
deal with. I hope it all works out well for you both. I will miss the
passing of Kitty Farmcat as she goes to RB. I hope it goes easily for the
grand dame and any other cats that pass to the other side during my
absence. Purrs that it happens as far in the future as possible for them
all.

I think I originally came to this group back when Bev was still telling
stories about Ollie - who I hope is still alive and kicking but if not I
hope his passing was peaceful.

I have enjoyed hearing the stories posted here. Especially of the awesome
twosome Bonnie and Clyde as well as the stories of the Samazon. I deeply
lamented the passing of certain cats as if they were my own - most notably
Frank and Nikki among others.

That's really all I can say except for you all to take care. Goodbye.
