We had a scare with him several years ago where his liver attacked his body and we had to feed him through a tube inserted in his abdomen. We are very happy that he survived and now rules the roost over an also male orange tabby and a littel black cat who has endless energy. When we had a previous cat pass on after being hit by a garbage truck, we started keeping all our kitties inside. Now when one "goes to kitty heaven," our daughters insist we replace it. I'm sure you being a cat lover will think about this, too. Despite your sadness, Season's Greeting from another cat lover.nellieduclos@yahoo.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12304891901390221942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-69419357379087434952015-12-24T10:24:14.220-08:002015-12-24T10:24:14.220-08:00Oh, Barb.

Not to hear this, though. My heart breaks for you. We lost our Teddy two weeks ago, and his sister Mavis a year ago, and there is somehow an added poignancy to grieving at the holidays. I learned this with both of my parents, sadly. <br /><br />But the truth is, any day is a hard day to say goodbye, but whenever Gracie left, it would be with the sure knowledge that she was loved dearly, fully, for all of her quirks and beauty. Perhaps it helps a bit to know that other hearts are filled with love and sorrow for you today, that other tears are falling for your Gracie girl, and for Smitty, who shall surely miss her, too. Please give Mike my condolences for the loss of his little companion. <br /><br />xxx BethBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11786511163919657885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5045426307379086704.post-72652281086399346672015-12-24T09:34:47.092-08:002015-12-24T09:34:47.092-08:00Oh Gracie is such a sweet girl.
