Sorry to hear of your loss, Nathan. We also have endured a cat shaped hole 
in our lives for a 16 months - before we replaced Kofi with Pippi and the 
hole gradually healed.

> him back to the vet for a blood test. About 1 1/2 hour later the verdict 
> came. Taco’s kidneys were failing completely and he had only days to live. 
> There was really only one possible decision, but I could not make it on my

> home, I made a quick video of Taco with my phone—Monica wanted to see her 
> kitty alive one last time...

> Isabel has been our vet ever since we moved to this neighbourhood 8 years
