I'm sorry, Sharni.

I grew up with dogs, and didn't have a cat until after I was married. I picked up a stray and loved that cat like I never thought I ever would. He was a great cat. He taught my wife's sissy cat how to hunt, and protected him from the bully cats in the neighborhood. I was devestated after he didn't come home one night (very unusual) and I found that he'd been struck by a car. Amazing how animals can touch us in such a deep way, even when we insulate ourselves against it.
