Expression of gratitude to PHJ for the attempt.
Sad comment on passing of Cat #2 last month, who was elderly and beginning to suffer from a number of ailments. (Parenthetical aside commenting that this poster's brother also had an elderly cat who died two weeks after Cat #2, of natural causes.) A few affectionate statements listing her better qualities. A funny anecdote about her. A note that she is buried next to her sister, Cat #1, who died two years prior. Conclusion noting that we still have Cat #3, so we are not completely feline-deprived.
