Yes Michelle, I agree that it's hard to take when they are so young. It's probably difficult too when they have been a lifelong companion for many years. I guess it's hard all the way around. It sounds as if you have some wonderful acreage (in UK?) due to all your animals and horses and I am envious. It's my dream one day to have at least 5-10 acres with a barn and lots of animals to love. I am glad to know you; you seem to be a very caring and thoughtful person and your furballs are lucky to have you as well. I am lucky to know all the cat lovers here. Yesterday, I overheard some of the kids here at the school I work at talking about how boring cats were and that they aren't good pets to have. I told them that anyone who doesn't like cats has never been loved by one.
