hi guys, my condolences and heart go out to you . i lost a cat of 18 years, luanne pouvey, back in 2000. oddly enough i had to have her put to sleep the morning of the joni concert at chastain park in atlanta. ( the fates must have known i'd be in need of a huge diversion following my beloved kitty's death. ) a friend and i made the trip from NC to atlanta and even though i was numb from loss the concert was fabulous and much needed. luanne and i had been through alot together, a litter of which i kept two babies( rita louise and rosemary), and i still tear up when i think of her, both babies passed before their mom. i have new cats now, maeve and baxter, which were stray kittens i adopted shortly after i lost luanne. i hope you will plan to find a new kitty friend shortly, it certainly helped me recover from my loss. ( joni was there to console me as well !) i also hope you will consider giving a much needed home to a stray when and if you do...
in sympathy, warren keith
