I am truly sad to read this. He was a fine old boy. Even when expected, the loss of our furry friends is sad. My Charlie (17) died very suddenly a couple of days before Christmas. I now have a gorgeous orange tabby rescue (named Handsome) who is about 3. We are starting our journey together and I have done the same math that you have Mark. It is a life's commitment that we make when we accept a new boy into our homes.

Wonderful to find such treasures. Only a few weeks ago I was looking at 50 years old pics together with my mother and we found something like this, too. I was holding a few days old kitten in my hands when I was about 6 years old.

My sister says the cat's name was Tabby. A color pic shows he/she looked amazingly like Storm, and was very much in love with the family dachshund, Berbily.

I feel so lucky to have been privileged enough to take care of him and his mother and brothers for all those years. He single-handedly changed the direction of my life, and he knew what he was doing. "Just a cat".......

I am so sorry....it is almost one year since my sweet Mickey left us and still miss her every day. A good kitty is such a special gift and Floppy was a wonderful gift to you.
