Homeward Bound

Mommy and I are very sad to tell you that my favorite brovver has gone to heaven. It has been a privilege to be with him and comfort him these last few months. It’s a very difficult time for us all now, but I am glad that my warm, loving purrs can help to heal our broken hearts. Thank you, kitties of the CB, for your love, kindness and support. Your caring is truly needed and appreciated.

You don't know it, but in two minutes I'm throwing this cake at you!
