I think.

I went out to Mikey's this weekend, he's doing fine for an 11 yo indoor/outdoor cat. Hard to believe he's that old, his mom says he's taken to catching rabbits along with the rodents in the out buildings. He still has to watch out for the wild turkeys and a few other species but he's doing well with a few safe places to hide when he needs them, and he still melts in my arms when I pick him up. He was right there within ten seconds after I got out of my car. I miss him a lot.

Today I helped rescue a kitten from the engine compartment of a car while I was at the credit union. It was hot out and scary because there was hardly any room to get near him with your hand. He got out after a few minutes, whew. I had to leave because I was on my way to the dentist's office down the street. A pretty tabby, maybe twelve weeks old.

It was a happy ending.

I'm glad you have Madoc and the rest to comfort you, I'd rather be comforted by animals than humans, myself.
