The mourning of my beloved young cat is taking much depth of meaning with all thes stories and memorial plans. I have never had a public memorial for any of my pets in the last 30 years, but Laurel is the onlyone who died nasty quick with Pele. 

Hardy is bored to no end without his brother to play with: I just gave him catnip, when he came next to me in the kitchen. May he continue being mostly indoors, Lord, though I truly doubt that will be the case in the summer...hubby's fault.
