LixyChick---It eventually happens!You think that you are prepared
but you're actually not.My wife recently had her cat put down.I'm
not a"cat person"but you get attached to any family member;over
the years.We had the cat for;in the teens;of years.I had a"love-
hate"relationship;with it.Altho;I hate to admit it;I really missed it!
She has one now;that almost died.It got down to less than a 1/2
lb.I rushed it to the Vet.The women;down there;technically saved
its life.You'ld never know it now.The cat is HUGE!My wife gets
pissed off because he always goes to me.Animals are pretty smart
They know if you care about them.A dog can tell if you're scared
of it or not.Sorry to get off on animal psychiatry(sp?) Irish
P.S.I think that the cat misses the dog more then we do!They were buddies and had learned to coexist.
