    Gees, I thought it was something else... Branka. I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a pet is just like losing a family member.

    I also know what it is to lose a favorite cat after so many years. Some people don't realize how sweet, lovable, and even loyal special cats can be. Please don't be to sad Branka. AL
