Sometimes I go about in pity for myself, and all the while,
A great wind is bearing me across the sky.
-- Ojibwa saying
In three words I can sum up everything I know about life: it goes on.

Leo

Namaste, feline friend. I'll never forget you.
I'm sorry to hear of your loss, Kitty. Somewhere, Leo's rolling in catnip and chasing butterflies.

Thanks, y'all. Leo belonged to a good friend of mine back in New Orleans. I met him when he was a kitten, and was around him a lot until he moved to Florida when he was seven. He helped me get through some challenging times. He was an "apple-head" Siamese, and had a sweet, delightful personality.

I'm so sorry to hear about the loss you have experienced. I have lost pets in the past, and the words, I know, just don't really comfort. All I can think to offer is that through knowing you briefly via your blog, your cat was a very lucky animal, and I'm sure had a rich life.
All the best Kitty.
