Koshka will forever be known to me as "Stray Boy", as it was our driveway and our backyard that he wandered in to after his previous owner passed away, but the neighborhood didn't know he had a cat. We couldn't have another cat in the house, and our one outdoor cat was not accepting him, so we looked for a shelter, any shelter that would take him.
I admit, I cried when I heard you'd adopted him, because I knew he was an old cat, and with the scar on his eye, and the fur missing from his tail, I had pretty much assumed he would never get adopted. To know that someone looked past his imperfections and his age to see the wonderful cat he really was... I was so happy I cried.
So.. thank you. Thank you for doing what my family could not in giving him a home for the end of his days. He's a sweet and wonderful cat and certainly deserved a much better early life than he got. But thank you for giving him the love, comfort, and happiness he deserved at the end.
I am very sorry to hear that he is going, and I hope you will have two ghost kitties in your place, now. And if not, I'm sure he'll be waiting at the Bridge for you.
