Even those smells that may not seems so
nice, get a new found respect when they are attached to the ones we care
about! Here's to Dale!

Thanks Steve,
Dale had a unique odor when he was a kitten and had a liver shunt.
I miss it now sometimes - because of the emotional stuff we went through back
then, not because of what his odor meant. I would never wish what we
went through on anyone, and I would prefer not to have to go through it again,
but anytime I was going to be gone for more than 2 hours, Dale either went
with me or went to a baby sitter along with a credit card and ER vet phone
number and driving directions with instructions to keep him warm and go there
immediately if he had anything weird happen. He had an ammonia-ish kind
of smell (because his body was using the respiratory system to get rid of the
ammonia and other toxins his liver would've removed). Back then, I
didn't have any FeLV+'s and I'd lay down in bed alone and wake up with 18 cats
in bed with me. Because of Dale's odor, when he came up to snuggle in
bed in the middle of the night, I could tell it was him even when it was pitch
black in my room.

Thanks you Kathy. It is very kind
of you to light a candle. Your Sarah sounds beautiful too. We do
all think our cats are physically beautiful, but I think it is a natural
outcome of their unique personalities and how much we love them, just as it
is with our human loved-ones.
I didn't mention how sweet Leeloo
smelled. I didn't know a cat could have such wonderful perfume!?
She smelled much much different than Loki.
I love your tag line.
