Gloria,
I'm sorry to hear about Tad. You're friend must be so upset with his
parents because of what happened. It's so sad that not everyone is as
understanding and indulgent about living with a loved one that happens
to be a different species. I wonder if your friend will consider having
their parents sleep in the back yard if/when they become incontinent. I
don't know Gloria, one of the first things that went through my head was
that Tad at least crossed quickly and he was living his last days the
way he wanted to. Not much consolation to a grieving fur-parent though.
Please send your friend my condolences,
N

Please add my friend's cat Tad (not FELV) to the Candlelight list.
Tad was older - about 16, a pretty yellow-orange cat with a sweet
disposition. He was injured while being outdoors several weeks ago.
My friend said he was going to keep Tad inside after that, but they
didn't. There was problems of Tad peeing on the carpet, so my
friend's older mom and dad started letting Tad out after supper. He
was hit be a car on their busy street and killed. I'm just really
sad and angry about this since it could have been prevented. I am
comforted to know that at least Tad had a long happy life.
Gloria
