Thanks for your sweet words. ❤️<br /><br /><b>Photowannabe</b> Thanks very much, Sue. I've known so many people who have said they're not cat people.. until they really got to know a cat.

I do believe that animals (pets and otherwise) hold the same importance in this life that we do. It would be awfully arrogant of us to think of ourselves as better. Arrogant and often wrong. And it's a comfort to think that my boys are together in some way. So thanks, Jim for sharing those thoughts along with your always very kind words. ❤️<br /><br /><b>Karen</b> Thank you, beautiful friend. You always seem to know the just-right thing to say. Thank you so much for that. ❤️<br /><br /><b>Lady Fi</b> I so appreciate your kind words. And yes, of course I agree about their unconditional love. Thank so much for your warm thoughts, Fiona. ❤️<br /><br /><b>Kerry</b> Thank you. Yes, other cat/dog/animal lovers certainly get how very deep the feelings are for our pets. Thank you so much for your kindness. ❤️<br /><br /><b>Linda</b> Thanks very kindly, my friend. Your thoughts are much appreciated ❤️<br /><br /><b>Pauline</b> Very much appreciated. Thank you so much. ❤️<br /><br /><b>Theresa</b> Thank you so kindly. ❤️<br /><br /><b>Marie</b> Much appreciated. Thank you. ❤️<br /><br /><b>DJan</b> Thank you dear lady. That means so much to me. ❤️<br /><br /><b>Jennifer</b> Thanks kindly. I hope things can improve between you and your son, one day. ❤️<br /><br /><b>Shammie</b> Oh of course I remember. You met him at a time when he was coming out of his shy shell (after Skitty died) and was interested in greeting visitors. I'm glad you were able to know my boy and I thank you for your kind words. ❤️<br /><br /><b>Gayle</b> Thank you so much for that. ❤️<br /><br /><b>Margaret</b> Thanks very much for your kind words. I'm sorry you've lost three furry loves. It's so difficult but worth it for the years of love that are shared. Thanks for taking the time to read and comment. It means a lot to me ❤️<br /><br /><b>Linda</b> Thank you so much. Your email was just lovely. ❤️<br /><br /><b>William</b> Thanks very kindly.

Much appreciated. ❤️<br /><br /><b>Kathleen</b> Such a lovely and kind comment. Thank you so much for that. ❤️<br /><br /><b>Rita</b> Your beautiful Karma was so well-loved. It showed in how you always hounoured her in your posts. I wish I had more time for blogging and visiting because I miss your wonderful posts. Thanks for your kind words, sweet friend. ❤️<br /><br /><b>MessyMimi</b> That's the absolute truth. Thanks very much. ❤️<br /><br /><b>Barbara S</b> Thank you so much, sweet friend. It's tough to let them go but only because they were so loving and lovable. That part is such a joy. Thanks for your kind words. ❤️<br /><br /><b>Oma Linda</b> Lovely to hear from you and you're so right about the flip side of losing them - the loving them. Thank you so kindly. ❤️<br /><br /><b>Kerri</b> Thank you very kindly. It's much appreciated. ❤️<br /><br /><b>Rob Bear</b> A Zephyr-shaped hole... that's exactly right. Thanks for your kind words and hugs right back at you. ❤️<br /><br /><b>Hilary</b> I'm so sorry that you lost your beautiful Jinxie. Just 3 years after her bonded sibling died. Sometimes our similarities are too many. Shared heartache with you, my dear friend. Hugs and love sent your way. ❤️<br /><br /><b>Phyllis</b> Thank you so much for this and for your sweet email. Big hugs and love to you. ❤️<br /><br /><b>Barbara</b> What a lovely comment to read. I so appreciate what you said. Enjoy your sweet dog. The time we have with our furry loves is so short. Thanks so kindly. ❤️<br /><br /><b>Linda</b> Thank you for your kind words and I'm so sorry about Flash. Reaching that point is such a stress and heartache. I wish you some good days together and an easy passing for Flash, when it's his time. Hugs to you ❤️<br /><br /><b>AnvilCloud</b> Thank you, John. I wish I had the time for blogging and visiting more. I haven't left you all behind in my head or heart.. just with my clicking fingers.
