Sigh.

Saying goodbye is always hard, but I appreciated this one where the woman got him the cat as a surprise.

I had to put a beloved cat down last autumn, and it hit me hard, much harder than I thought it ever would.

My wife had mentioned that she would be willing to get another one for us, but she was waiting on me, and I just had a hard time getting over my little yellow pal who had to leave us.

I came home from work one day, and she told me to be careful going in the bathroom, and that there was a present in there for me. What she said went completely over my head, and...when I opened the door, on the bathroom sink were two pairs of kitten eyes looking at me...one of them curled up in the sink...:)

I love dogs, and cats too, but cannot own a dog yet. But I sure do enjoy their company!

Even they don't much look it, they are from the same litter, and good brothers to each other...Mr. Inky and Admiral Halsey...:)

Getting those cats was one of the nicest and most considerate things my wife has ever done for me. I was moping around, and she just went out and did it.
