Yes Peri,
Kika(named after a film by the Spanish Director Pedro Almodovar,she was named when we got her)came from a couple we knew well,She was Brazilian,and he was Spanish,they split up,so rather than fight over her we got her.
She lived until she was 9,but never grew bigger than an 18 moth old kitten,with a personality to match.She loved everyone,cats,dogs and humans.She developed cancer in one of her sinuses(in 2008),so we had to bite the bullet and make the terrible decision.She is buried in the garden along with another 5 of our cats (who are dead though LOL).
It was difficult to put her here as my avatar,as it still hurts me to see her,but I thought it might be nice for ABer's to see her,and good therapy for me.
You would think that by 87 it would get easier losing a pet,but actually I think it gets harder.
Thanks for asking.
Alec.
