the hard part about being a traveler is not being able to keep animals with you. Thank you for sharing Slinky with us.

Slinky sounds wonderful. He was happy with you, I know. Had every
reason to be!! Sad you weren't able to keep him. But I'm sure
you found the perfect home. The darling survivor is chasing shadows and cuddling and meowing his way to more milk and honey!

So glad to hear that Slinky made the
survival list. Cats do have nine
lives, eh! So much pure essence in this
poem.

Birgit and Roger,

Awwwwwwwwwwwww...what a beautiful write of a beloved kitty! I enjoyed this one, and I'm sorry for your loss. Another family, I pray, is taking as good of care of Slinky as you provided.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

I had three cats I loved so much: Friday, Cajun, and Ouizer; oh, how I miss my babies....

Was swingin along with this "happy ever after" tail and totally blown away by the unexpected parting... this kinda rocked me almost as much as if darlin Slinky had been my own loss. But due, doubtless, to the headstart in life that your kindness gave him, he must have blessed beyond measure the hearth and home of his new family. And bless you, too, for having the open-handedness to let him go, rather than perhaps to enforce a new lifestyle upon him that he might not have coped with. I am never sure whether we have the pets, or the pets have us... a mutual giving and receiving, I expect! Delightful, thank you. Kate xx

Gorgeous cat and great tribute to him! Glad Birgit had it for awhile. We all have to move on at times from all kinds of relationships. Glad he has a good home.

I care for the feral cats in my neighborhood and I adore each of them. It is a difficult and rather sad life, but I do what I can to lighten their burden. It touches my heart everytime I look at them and see their healthy coats and bright shining eyes, knowing that although they will never be tamed nor will they ever trust humans, they have still been given a chance. Your Slinky is a beauty, I can understand how you fell in love with him.
Take care,
Sherry

It is sad to have to leave a pet. I will always have my German Shhepherd, Princess in my thoughts. Such a beautiful, intelligent dog.
