She was a great cat. I got her from the Humane Society in October 2004 as a tiny kitten. Over the years I also acquired three more cats, but she was number one. I am a little surprised how much her departure affected me, but it does. Adios.

    Sorry Bud and yes it does hurt, sorry for your loss.

    Lost my 15 year old cat back in March and still not over it, she was always by my side especially when I was sick.

    RIP Pudge.

    Out of all the cats we've had over the years it seems that the black cats were the most ......special ? Had the most character ?
    Hard to put my finger on it but there was something extra there.
    From his pic I imagine Pudge had the same trait. Sorry for your loss.
