What Baha said!

But Mimi would like me to add that she wishes Boyfie's "sister" well, and
his mommy too!

I'm quite sure it is.  She left her previous home (not a particularly good
one, but better than none) through choice to live feral in my garden.  For
YEARS.
Cats can freely roam here so I thought she was just passing through in a
neighbourly way.
I could not have taken her in earlier than I did as I still had dogs some
would have killed her in an instant.
I hope I have managed to give her the home she always wanted. I'm sorry it
came so late in her life.
That such a tiny cat can decide to live feral and make a success of it until
she notices a vacancy, presents herself homeless at the door when she knows
the dogs are gone to RB, is truly amazing for me
Maybe nothing is amazing for Kitty Farmcat. She is wise.

Tweed

I do understand. Fritzie was only a couple of months away from his 19th
birthday, and I'd had him from a 2-month old kitten. It was harder than hell.
I didn't know about this group or other support sites, and this was the one
area that befuddled my psychiatrist (who came from a farm in India where a
cat was an employee, to keep mice out of the grain.) He didn't understand the
way a real cat slave would (or any other species of animal-person.) I think
you're right; Fritzie and I had been just a twosome for a very long time. I'd
had boyfriends (the Prophet Jeff among them) but only Jeff had a true love
for the cat. Fritzie and I were almightily close. The idea of the Bridge has
been a comfort to me since that evil December day, along with a verse of Sikh
scripture which says that the animals never forget their divine creator; and
a line from a lesser-known work of Lewis Carroll, "Sylvie and Bruno."

"Does GOD love hares?"
"...If He loves sinful Man, how much more must he love the animals, who
cannot sin!"

(pologies to Carroll-lovers for any mistake made; I don't have my copy at
work.)

We're continuing prayng for you Tweed, and purring.

Blessed be,
Baha
