Hi All,

I'm not able to check my mail much, usually once a week. I am very happy
about our little fur friends that were so ill but are improving. Jim -
thanks will all my heart for posting the article from Whole Cat Journal.

My work site was moved so my comute went from 15 mins to 45. After about
1/2 hour on the road I am ready to fall asleep. I am trying to find a place
closer to work and have asked my brother, "the computer guru", to build me a
computer for home. When I joined this list it was to try to find a way to
help my beloved Precious who I lost Dec 2nd. I tried a lot of things and my
vet was terrific. I still miss my baby very much and draw strength from
corresponding with everyone. Now I can't wait to see how everyone is doing.
I can't take the time to read everything but when I get my computer I
probably won't get anything else done.

After Precious passed away I thought I would go off the list at least for a
while. It definitely hurts to hear about others loosing their loved ones
but I wouldn't give you all up for the world. I recently realized why I
stayed on the list. All of you care about your kitties like they were your
own children. That's exactly how I feel. I have been ridiculed for my love
and tenderness for my cats. I know no one, except all of you, who cares
about their cats as much as I do. The bond we share is like finding a place
to call home. After loosing Precious I can honestly say I felt like I
didn't belong anywhere. I was so lost. I owe my sanity and happiness to
all of you who helped me get through such a difficult time. I very much
look forward to the day when I can read everyone's letters every day. I
hope you all have a great V Day.
