Your Cat friends loved you all way too much to even let yourselves go down
that path.  They brought you such joy and, as much as they would have liked,
when Bast said "IT IS TIME", it IS time.  I know how lost I was and still am
over my Scooter dog but,  I have such happy memories of her.  If I ever
stopped to think what kind of life she would have had if I had not rescued
her, that would be something to get depressed over.  Purrrrz and prayers for
all who need.  Feel their hugs in you heart and try to smile.
