It is with a tear in my eye that I am writing this. My shop cat and
our dear friend has gone away.

He was with us for 17 years and although I didn't want a cat our
daughter got what she wanted. When she married 9 years ago we got
custody of Lucky. By then I couldn't let him go. He will never be
forgotten.

G.S.



Well, with sympathy I welcome you to the club. Rest assured you provided a
good home, for "a cat" to hang around for that long. ;~)
