I inadvertenly posted this on the general topic forum so excuse me if you
have already seen it.This morning I lost my "little darlin'"a white cat I
named Blanca which is spanish for white. We got Blanca when her mother was
moving her and her sibling. We found them and placed them where her mother
could find them,and although she returned for one she never came back for
Blanca.Blanca had the sweetest disposition. In the mornings if I slept past
feeding time she would wake me by sleeping on top of me or giving me a
gentle touch on the nose. When I would come home from work she would be
watching out the window for me and would give me much loving when I came in
the door. When it was dinner time the other cats would be crying and
pestering me but Blanca would sit quitely by her dish until I fed her. In
the evening my stomach was her kneading place.On the night my mother died
she slept right by my head and purred all night long, something she had
never done before and never did again. Last night she began having some
kind of siezure and she died in my wife's arm as we were rushing her to the
vet. We will bury her in a little flower garden next to our house and I
made a donation in her name to a cancer organization. Like others who have
lost one like Blanca I'm sure they will agree no one could ever take her
place. I am naturally heartbroken and I will miss her so. Larry
