Ramona, Each time I've read your kind words about your cat Rosie it has warmed my heart. This time you really got me. I don't get out enough so I forget sometimes that there are people who really love their cats the way we do. I sung to my Puff too, lyrics just for him from popular tunes, very poorly, but my husband joined in too. We lost Puff in October at 16 and I was so lonely I went out the next week and found a beautiful, matted, starving cat at the shelter. He is not Puff, but he a sweet, lovely cat, already 5, but he will be by my side for many years, with luck. If you wish you can go to my blog and see Puff's picture and painting. http://leeciaprice.blogspot.com/2009/07/puff-magic-kitty-who-once-lived-on-sea.html

Warm holiday wishes, Leecia
p.s. I highly recommend a new edition, we can't be afraid to
love because of the pain of loss, right?
