Jan .. I am so sorry .. I didn’t know until now . I understand how sad you must be .. we have gone through such heart breaking loses a few years ago that I still weep over my Calico girls .. Molly moved all the way to Holland and back with us .. she was extraordinary in every sense of the word .. and sweet Lucy was a rescue kitten .. my heart still aches for them.
The pain will get a little more dull with each passing day but Jan .. it never goes away .. BUT .. it is coupled with wonderful memories to help you move through the grief.

Jan, I am so sorry for your loss… your sweet kitty. Our pets are like family members and it is so hard when they leaves us. Rusty will always be with you now. I am sorry I missed the original post. Carol

Jan, I just now read about your Rusty and I am so sorry. Over the years, we’ve lost several loved and loyal furry friends, and I can just imagine how much your heart aches. It was so sweet to read how well-behaved Rusty was in the garden and with the birds. What a special kitty.

What a sweet kitty!
We and our cats send sincere condolences. How wonderful to have had such a special friend who also loved the garden. I know he is missed and his memory will be cherished. Rest in peace, Rusty.

Thank you, Susan. It has been almost two weeks, and I still miss that little guy so much.
