[Steppes] One less good cat in the world.

[Carol Ross]

Dearest Muireann,

My sincere condolences on your loss. I still miss my beloved black cat,
Tempo, dearly. I too had had him for many years. He had a very special place
in my heart and as I read your post I realized he still does despite it
having been almost a year since having to make that same decision for him.
Again, my heart feels your pain and sorrow and I sympathize greatly with
you.

Genevieve
